Final Week: Secure Your Spot to Showcase at TechCrunch Disrupt
The exhibitor program at TechCrunch Disrupt is back open, but only through September 30 at 11:59 p.m. PT. If you want your startup in front of 10,000+ founders, investors, and tech leaders at Moscone West this October, this is the moment to act. We've extended the deadline because we know timing matters. Don't let the opportunity pass. For more on who else is shaping conversations at Disrupt, check out our piece on Wahlberg and Lee discussing investing.

Explore how Collaborative Fund's D.C. United stake empowers its startups.
Collaborative Fund just bought into D.C. United and its stadium, with founder Craig Shapiro pitching the deal as a live showcase for the firm's startups. It's a smart play: sports ownership offers a visible stage where portfolio companies can test products in real time. Thrive Capital led VCs into pro sports ownership, and this move builds on that momentum. For context on how AI-native companies are reshaping industries, our piece "AI-Native Companies Drive $5.75B Investment Surge" offers a useful parallel.

Your data deserves a stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026
A keynote slot isn't the only way to make an impact at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. Sometimes the most direct path to investors, customers, and partners is on the Expo Hall floor at Moscone West, October 13-15. That's what the Exhibit Program is for, and it's still open for your startup. For $12,500, you join fellow exhibitors in what's arguably the fastest, lowest-lift way to get noticed. It's a smart, practical move.
