TechCrunch Founder Summit early-bird ends: save up to $190

TechCrunch Founder Summit's early-bird pricing ends today, June 26, at 11:59 p.m. PT; register before that time to save up to $190 on a pass. The one-day event will gather more than 1,000 founders and investors on November 4 in Boston, with opportunities for tactical learning and networking.

What's the deadline and how much can I save?

The deadline is June 26 at 11:59 p.m. PT, and registering before that cutoff saves attendees up to $190 on their pass. Groups of four or more can save up to 30% when registering together, and rates increase after the early-bird period ends.

This is the final reminder for founders and startup teams who want the discounted rate. The announcement repeats that prices go up after the 11:59 p.m. PT deadline and encourages registration before that exact time to secure the savings.

Who will attend and what will the program cover?

More than 1,000 founders and investors will gather on November 4 in Boston for a day focused on scaling, fundraising, and go-to-market decisions. The summit centers on founder-led sessions, breakout discussions, and roundtables addressing practical topics such as raising a Series A, building investor-ready pitch decks, scaling to $10 million ARR, knowing when to raise Series C and beyond, preparing a company to go public, and how and when to sell a startup.

Past speakers listed include Ellen Chisa, partner at boldstart ventures; Cathy Gao, partner at Sapphire Ventures; Chris Gardner, partner at Underscore VC; Jon McNeill, CEO and co-founder at DVx Ventures and former president of Tesla; and Jahanvi Sardana, partner at Index Ventures. Additional representation has come from Sequoia Capital, NFX, Glasswing Ventures, Wing Venture Capital, Construct Capital, Greylock, and Precursor Ventures. The 2026 agenda is still coming, with more founders, operators, and investors to be announced and the event page offering agenda updates.

Why it matters

Founders rarely scale alone, and the summit pitches itself as a concentrated opportunity to make connections with peers and investors who can influence a company’s next stage. For founders preparing to raise capital or refine go-to-market strategy, the event packages tactical sessions and roundtables intended to deliver takeaways that can be applied immediately. The presence of partners and operators from well-known venture firms signals the summit will be pitched at founders actively planning funding or scaling moves.
