Bring a Colleague and Save 50% on a Second TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Pass

Preface

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is fast approaching, and this year’s event is designed to help founders, investors, and tech teams accelerate learning and forge meaningful connections. To encourage attendees to bring a teammate — whether a co-founder, partner, or colleague — we’re offering a limited-time 50% discount on a second pass of the same ticket type. This promotion runs only until the venue doors open at Moscone West on October 13 at 8 a.m. PT. The goal is simple: maximize the value of your time by sharing the experience, dividing responsibilities, and turning conversations into actionable outcomes.

Buy one Disrupt 2026 pass and get 50% off a second pass of the same type. Offer ends when doors open on October 13 at 8 a.m. PT. Bring a co-founder, colleague, or partner to cover more sessions, broaden networking, and convert learnings into results.

Main Body

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will be held October 13–15 in San Francisco and brings together thousands of founders, investors, and technology leaders for three days of intensive programming. The conference features 200+ tactical sessions, more than 300 showcasing startups, and curated networking opportunities backed by AI-driven matchmaking that helps attendees find the most relevant conversations. Given the scale and density of activity, one person alone cannot attend every session or meet every valuable contact. That’s why this limited-time offer—buy one pass and receive 50% off a second pass of the same ticket type—was created: to encourage teams to attend together and make the most of the event.

Bringing a teammate multiplies the conference’s return on investment. With two people, you can split sessions, cover multiple stages, and debrief in real time to synthesize insights into concrete next steps. If you’re a founder, one person can focus on pitching and investor meetings while the other attends workshops and product sessions to gather tactical insights. Investors can compare notes from parallel conversations, surface stronger deal signals, and act faster. Product, engineering, and go-to-market teams can divide responsibilities to optimize roadmaps and accelerate momentum.

Here’s how the discount works: purchase two passes of the same ticket type before the Moscone West doors open on October 13 at 8 a.m. PT, and the second pass will be half price. This applies across ticket categories—Investor, Founder, Attendee, Non-profit, Student, and Expo+—with savings that vary by pass type. The offer is intended to be straightforward and team-friendly so organizations can bring the right people without overpaying.

Examples of how pairs can use the event more effectively:

• Founders: One co-founder meets investors while the other attends tactical sessions to refine the product and go-to-market strategy.


• Investors: Two investors or partners attend to compare signals across demos and panels, making it easier to prioritize leads and speed up decision-making.


• Product & Engineering: Team members split between technical deep dives and user growth sessions to translate technical learning into product improvements.


• Recruiters & Hiring Managers: While one scout candidates and startups on the Expo floor, the other attends panels that reveal hiring trends and skills in demand.

Beyond practical coverage, attending with a colleague improves retention and implementation of insights. Post-session discussions help contextualize learnings, identify actionable next steps, and assign owners for follow-up. That interplay between discovery and execution often turns conversations into deals, hires, and partnerships rather than just ideas.

Event scale and features that amplify value:

• 300+ showcasing startups offering demos and founder conversations.


• 10,000+ attendees, including founders, investors, and tech leaders.


• 200+ tactical sessions across six industry stages, roundtables, and breakouts.


• AI-powered matchmaking to connect attendees with relevant peers and partners quickly.

Ticket-category details for the 50% second-pass discount:

• Investor pass: Buy one, get a second at 50% off — up to $450 savings. Ideal for connecting directly with founders and curated deal-flow sessions.


• Founder pass: Buy one, get a second at 50% off — up to $425 savings. Helps co-founders divide and conquer investor meetings and tactical sessions.


• Attendee pass: Buy one, get a second at 50% off — up to $412 savings. Built for cross-functional teams focused on product, growth, and go-to-market strategies.


• Non-profit pass: Buy one, get a second at 50% off — up to $237 savings. Useful for teams exploring tech applications to mission-driven work.


• Student pass: Buy one, get a second at 50% off — up to $175 savings. Supports students attending with peers to build early networks.


• Expo+ pass: Buy one, get a second at 50% off — up to $162 savings. Great for scouting talent, demoing products, and covering the show floor with a partner.

The discount is about more than cost savings; it’s a strategic move to deepen relationships and accelerate outcomes from the conference. When you attend with a partner, you’re more likely to turn introductions into follow-up meetings, insights into product changes, and conversations into hires or investments.

This promotion is available for a short window: secure two passes at the discount by October 13 at 8 a.m. PT, when Moscone West opens. After that time, prices increase and the buy-one-get-one 50% offer expires. If you’ll be attending solo, consider securing a pass now to capture other early savings before prices rise.

Decide who you’ll bring, select the same ticket type twice, and lock in the 50% second-pass discount before doors open. Bring a colleague, co-founder, or partner — and make the most of Disrupt 2026.
