Two days. That’s all that’s left to lock in your place — with your partner, co-founder, or colleague — at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026.

Right now, you can buy one pass and get 50% off a second of the same ticket type, but that offer ends May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT. After that, prices go up, and the opportunity to show up with more perspective, more context, and more clarity disappears with it.

At this stage, the advantage comes down to how quickly you leave with a clear sense of what to do next, which is why securing your pass now and deciding who to bring with you matters more than waiting.

Disrupt is where you get clarity on leveling up

Success in the startup ecosystem depends on knowing what to do next — and moving on it with confidence. Across founders, investors, and operators, the challenge isn’t a lack of ideas. It’s clarity.

There are too many signals, too many opinions, and too many possible directions. Product decisions stall. Investment timing stretches. Execution slows, not because the path isn’t there, but because it isn’t obvious.

Disrupt compresses that uncertainty into three days of high-impact programming, unparalleled networking, and real-time insight from the people actively shaping the market, giving you access to clarity that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere, and even harder to access if you wait past the May 8 deadline to secure your second pass for 50% off.

You’ll hear directly from leaders like:

• Nina Achadjian, Partner, Index Ventures

• Rajeev Dham, Managing Director, Sapphire Ventures

• Josh Reeves, CEO and Co-founder, Gusto

• Grant Lee, CEO and Co-founder, Gamma

• Shailendra Singh, Managing Director, Peak XV

See how waves in the industry get made

One of the biggest advantages of being at Disrupt is witnessing how decisions actually happen.

Startup Battlefield 200 makes that clear. As founders pitch live in front of seasoned VC judges and a global audience, you’re not just watching — you’re seeing what gets challenged, what resonates, and what ultimately stands out.

That level of transparency is hard to replicate elsewhere, which is exactly why being in the room — and locking in your pass while you can still bring someone with you for 50% off — matters more than trying to piece these signals together after the fact.

Clarity comes from comparison, not isolation

What makes Disrupt different isn’t any one session — it’s how patterns emerge across them. You hear one perspective, test it in a roundtable, and see it reinforced — or challenged — in conversation later that day. Over time, the signal becomes clear.

For founders, that might mean refining product direction. For investors, spotting what stands out. For operators, pressure-testing how to build and scale.

Bringing a co-founder, operator, or partner accelerates that clarity. You compare interpretations in real time, challenge assumptions, and make better decisions while the context is still fresh — an advantage you can only lock in by securing your place before the 50% off a second pass offer ends.

Two days left to buy one, get the second at 50% off

The second pass at 50% off deal ends May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

If Disrupt is already on your radar, the decision now isn’t whether to attend — it’s whether you’re willing to move faster than the people who wait — especially when, for the next two days, you still have the opportunity to bring someone with you at 50% off. Register before this week ends to get these savings.

Because once the offer ends, you’re not just paying more — you’re making your next set of decisions without the clarity everyone else is working from.
