TechCrunch adds $100 flash saving for Disrupt 2026 passes
TechCrunch has introduced an extra $100 flash discount on TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 passes for founders, investors and other attendees. Combined with the existing $300 discount, the offer provides savings of up to $400 and is available until August 7 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
The additional reduction ends before the event’s next pricing tier starts on August 21. TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is scheduled for October 13–15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, where TechCrunch expects more than 10,000 founders, venture capitalists, technology innovators and builders.
Discount deadline ahead of the next price tier
The promotion applies to founder, investor and attendee passes. After the August 7 deadline, the extra $100 saving will no longer be available, while the regular discounted pricing is due to end on August 21.
Disrupt is structured as a three-day programme of speakers, workshops, networking opportunities and post-event activity. The event is aimed at people building companies, investing in them or tracking new technology and business developments.
Stages span AI, finance and founder operations
TechCrunch has announced an initial lineup for the flagship Disrupt Stage, including Amazon Senior Vice President of Devices and Services Panos Panay and Replit founder and CEO Amjad Masad. Panay is set to address a post-smartphone future, while Masad will discuss the implications of a world in which more people can develop software.
The wider programme includes an AI Stage focused on security gaps and business-model changes affecting SaaS companies. The new Smart Money Stage will examine stablecoins, instant payments and AI’s role in financial trust, while the new Smart Systems Stage is planned to cover fusion breakthroughs and grid strain connected to AI’s next decade.
As Amazon, Replit and Tether scaling AI discussions indicates, Amazon, Replit and Tether are among the companies represented in discussions on scaling AI, while the Builders Stage will focus on tactical issues such as fundraising, hiring and scaling.
Startup competition and networking remain part of the pass
Most Disrupt passes also include access to Startup Battlefield, where 200 startups are expected to compete live for the Battlefield Cup. Attendees can also use networking opportunities tailored to founders, investors and learners, and visit an Expo Hall featuring hundreds of startups.
For businesses considering participation, the practical implication is to decide before the flash-sale deadline whether the planned meetings, programme tracks and startup access justify purchasing at the available discounted rate.
