One week to go until the summit and the final days of the discount

There are seven days left until TechCrunch Founder Summit: the one-day conference for startup founders will take place on November 4, 2026, at Boston's SoWa Power Station venue. TechCrunch reminds readers of this, noting that the discount of up to $100 on tickets is only valid until the doors open — once the event begins, prices will rise. The organizer positions the event as a 'bootcamp for founders' (founder 101) with practical advice on the real challenges of building and growing a company — no generic recommendations.

What's on the agenda

The format includes two stages with Q&A sessions, two rooms for interactive roundtables, and a full day of sessions. The announcement lists practical breakout sessions on raising funding, hiring, product-market fit, AI strategy, and growth; roundtables with experienced operators and investors; live pitches with feedback from investors; networking on the Braindate platform in one-on-one and small-group formats, as well as official side events across Boston throughout the week. The full agenda is published on the event website.

Speakers

Among the announced speakers are Kent Bennett (Bessemer Venture Partners) on validating demand and product-market fit signals; Vineet Edupuganti (Cogent Security) on attracting talent and building a team; Chase Garbarino (HqO) on the experience of scaling a company outside major hubs, outside Silicon Valley; Dave Balter (True Ventures and Edisyl) on pitching to investors; and Tina Tosukhowong (TDK Ventures) on how investors evaluate startups for category leadership. The full speaker list is available on the event page.
