tagline | | | Why you should be at Disrupt SF this October
| In little more than three weeks, San Francisco will be all aglow with Disrupt SF (October 2-4) at the Moscone Center. If you're a part of the startup scene, or plan to be, there is a long list of reasons why you should join the event. (And there is a pass priced for most every pocketbook!) Here are five reasons why you should be there:
#1 The people you'll meet. At nearly 9,000 attendees last year, Disrupt SF was TechCrunch's biggest event ever but thanks to the CrunchMatch platform for attendees, meeting a potential (and relevant) investor, founder, employer or business partner is never more than a few taps away.
#2 Watch, Work, Network. With the two Disrupt stages running concurrently, there's always lots of content to take in – check out the agenda here. Stretch your legs in Startup Alley, where hundreds of startups are arrayed in categories, including ecommerce, SaaS, robotics and mobility, or line-up a few meetings through CrunchMatch. Days at Disrupt SF are guaranteed to be some of your most productive days this year.
#3 The Speakers. No matter your angle on the startup scene, TechCrunch's editors have have produced an impossible (and highly diverse) speaker line-up.
- The corporate titans include Spiegel (Snap), Benioff (Salesforce), Levie (Box), van Dijk (Naspers), and Hewson (Lockheed Martin), Vestberg (Verizon)
- The vast VC line-up counts the likes of Bannister (Founders), Gouw (Aspect), Dixon (a16z), Royan (Mithril), Krane (GV), Lee (Sequoia), Quinn (Spark)
- The technologists / entrepreneurs span the gamut of tech from CRISPR to AI to robotics to security, to enterprise and mobility, including Thrun (Kitty Hawk), Haurwitz (Caribou Biosciences), Altman and Brockman (OpenAI), Moll (Auris), Adkins (Google), Isakowitz (Aerospace Corp), Henderson (Slack), VanderZanden (Bird)
#4 The Startup Battlefield Competition. TechCrunch's signature startup competition brings to the big stage 20 incredible early stage companies that you've never seen before. The company names are under wraps until the end of the show but there's a reason why Ashton Kutcher, Marissa Mayer, Alfred Lin (Sequoia), Ann Miura-Ko (Floodgate), and Mamoon Hamid (KPCB) were eager to step in as finals judges. The 857 contestants to date have pulled in $8.9 billion and produced 111 exits. That Cloudflare IPO? They launched in Startup Battlefield at TechCrunch Disrupt in 2011.
#5 The Extra Crunch angle. Many of the luminaries of the startup world will appear on the new Extra Crunch stage, so named for TechCrunch's new subscription service aimed at helping founders move faster up the curve. On the Extra Crunch stage, it's the same drill plus we've added in time for them to take questions from the audience.
We know that's a lot but it's just the start. Disrupt SF is one tech-focused startup event you have to experience in person. Don't want for the FOMO to hit and get your pass to attend Disrupt SF this October. | | | | | | | Sponsored by:
