TechCrunch Disrupt returns to San Francisco’s Moscone West October 13–15, and the sponsor roster is filling up quickly!
Google for Startups is helping founders at our popular AI Stage, featuring speakers from OpenAI, Databricks, Luma AI, and more. The New York Stock Exchange is fostering even more detailed tips and tricks for founders via the long-standing Builders Stage, with a wealth of advice from experts on fundraising, M&A, and all the issues closest to founders. And over in the Networking Lounge, Mastercard is helping make the connections that will fuel the future of innovation through their sponsorship and support.
Our brand-new stages are also getting the backing of our partners. The Smart Systems stage, which features everything from the AI infrastructure boom to the opportunities afforded by a power grid in need of rewiring, is being sponsored by our partners at SEW.AI
Several of this year’s partners, including Google for Startups, the Aerospace Corporation, Qualcomm, Fidelity Private Shares, and Greenfield, have sponsored stages at Disrupt for consecutive years, which says something about how the return shows up for them. Fidelity is also the flagship sponsor of our Founder Summit event taking place November 4 in Boston!
Disrupt, and our other events, give our partners access to an incredibly valuable audience. Startup Battlefield 200 alumni alone have raised more than $32 billion since the program started 15 years ago, and this year’s Disrupt is projected to bring together 10,000 attendees from 113 countries — and 40% of them are within the C-suite.
A handful of the highest-demand sponsor placements — AI Track, Networking Lounge, Startup Pavilion, and now badges — are already locked in. Sponsorship spots for content, exhibition, and the exclusive lanyards placement are still open, with the lanyards deadline landing August 28.
