Founders share real lessons on customers, teams, and scaling beyond the hype
Founders gathering in Boston this November won't find another hype-filled fundraising panel. TechCrunch's full-day Founder Summit, hosted with Fidelity Private Shares, cuts straight to the real work: finding customers, building teams, and scaling beyond the echo chambers. The focus is practical leadership, not AI buzz. For deeper context on how companies actually grow, see our coverage of Daytona's recent unicorn round, a story about building infrastructure that serves real user needs, not chasing trends.

The next teammate on your startup's roster might not be human. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, Gusto, Insight Partners, and Leland will break down how early-stage companies are building teams where humans and AI agents work side by side. The focus is practical: how do you do it without losing speed, accountability, or culture? That's the right question to ask.
