The conference starts tomorrow; discounts are valid until doors open

TechCrunch Founder Summit, presented by Fidelity Private Shares, will take place on November 4, 2026, at SoWa Power Station in Boston and will bring together startup founders and investors for one full day. According to TechCrunch, the current ticket discounts will disappear when doors open at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time — organizers call this the 'last call' for those looking to save.

Ways to save on tickets

Organizers offer several savings options: up to $100 off an individual ticket, a free second pass when buying one for a partner or co-founder, a 15% discount for groups of 4–12 people, and 30% for groups of 13 or more. Registration is available on the event's ticket page.

Program: two stages, roundtables, and a pitch competition

The program is built around the questions founders grapple with throughout the year: how to know when product-market fit has been achieved, when it's really time to scale, what an investor needs to hear before the next meeting, how to build a team and win enterprise clients early on, and whether it's possible to build a category-defining company outside Silicon Valley. The learning format can be chosen: Build Stage focuses on practical lessons on raising funding, distribution, teams, and pitching; Impact Stage covers product-market fit, scaling, working with enterprise clients, and long-term growth. Additionally, there are small roundtables, a live pitch competition, one-on-one or small-group networking via the Braindate app, and a closing reception. The full schedule is published on the conference website.
