TechCrunch announced that its special "Founder and Investor Bundle" ticket sales for the upcoming Disrupt 2025 conference will conclude on October 3 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. This deadline marks the end of discounted bulk registration opportunities for participating groups.
Following the expiration of the bundle sale, founders will no longer be able to secure tickets in bulk at a reduced rate. Investors will revert to a standard 15% savings on individual passes, compared to the 20% discount offered in the expiring bundle for groups of 4-9.
During the bundle sale period, groups of 4-9 founders received a 15% discount on passes. Similarly, investor groups of 4-9 were eligible for a 20% savings. TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is projected to convene over 10,000 founders, investors, and technology leaders globally, with organizers positioning the event as a key platform for early-stage companies and investment discovery.
The conference agenda includes specialized programming designed for founders, featuring sessions on fundraising strategies, AI integration, and go-to-market advice. Featured speakers are expected to include industry operators such as Aaron Levie from Box, Phoebe Gates of Phia, and Vinod Khosla from Khosla Ventures. Additional sessions are planned to explore AI's role in product development and company building, with contributions from Tekedra Mawakani of Waymo, Thomas Wolf from Hugging Face, and Soyoung Lee of TwelveLabs. The event facilitates networking between founders and investors through curated VC matchmaking, early access to investor lists, and designated Deal Flow Cafe connections.
For investors, the event offers access to over 200 pitch-ready pre-Series A startups competing for equity-free funding. Opportunities for curated 1:1 or small-group meetings with founders are provided, alongside investor-specific programming, including the return of StrictlyVC for LP tracks and exclusive insights from venture capitalists. Early access to founders who have opted to connect with investors is also a component of the investor experience.
