TechCrunch Disrupt 2023: A Preview of Innovation

This year’s TechCrunch Disrupt event, commencing next week, promises an expansive experience for attendees. The event features a multitude of opportunities, ranging from exploring the companies showcased in Startup Alley to witnessing the competitive Startup Battlefield presentations.

Beyond these core elements, the Disrupt Stage and Extra Crunch Stage will host a diverse array of sessions and speakers.

Key Speakers and Founders

The conference will feature prominent venture capitalists, including Chamath Palihapatiya, Katie Haun from a16z, Niko Bonatsos of GC, and Kirsten Green of Forerunner.

Founders who have successfully scaled their ventures into unicorn status, such as Stewart Butterfield (Slack), Tope Awotona (Calendly), Brian Armstrong (Coinbase), and Melanie Perkins (Canva), will be sharing their experiences and insights.

Furthermore, the event will include discussions with policymakers like Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Erin Schneider from the SEC, alongside appearances by celebrities Ryan Reynolds and Seth Rogen.

Practical Workshops and Guidance

The Extra Crunch stage will be dedicated to providing actionable advice for entrepreneurs. Panels will cover essential topics such as securing initial funding, developing a compelling pitch deck, acquiring early B2B clients, and achieving product-market fit.

These sessions will incorporate audience Q&A segments, ensuring participants gain the knowledge needed for success.

Recognizing the impossibility of experiencing every aspect of the event live, the Disrupt Desk is returning after its successful debut in 2020.

The Disrupt Desk will deliver comprehensive coverage of the event’s highlights, including analysis of breaking news and valuable perspectives from key speakers.

Attendees can also anticipate exclusive, never-before-seen demos and significant announcements originating from the Disrupt Desk.

On-Demand Access and Membership Benefits

In addition to the Disrupt Desk, all Disrupt attendees will receive a complimentary 3-month Extra Crunch membership, granting them on-demand access to all event content.
