The Disrupt Stage, only at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is where tech’s biggest bets get made — live and unfiltered. It’s where startup dreams turn into $100,000 wins in Startup Battlefield, and where the industry’s power players reveal what’s next.
This year, we’re bringing Alphabet’s moonshot chief Astro Teller, Netflix CTO Elizabeth Stone, and Khosla Ventures’ Vinod Khosla (never one to mince words) to the stage. Sequoia’s Roelof Botha will dig into the future of venture, buzzy Slate Auto is dropping its first fully customizable electric truck, and Phia’s headline-making founders, including Phoebe Gates, are taking us inside one of the hottest new commerce startups on the scene. If you want the headlines before they hit the wire, you’ll find them here.
