Across three days at Disrupt, happening October 13-15 at San Francisco’s Moscone West, some of the biggest questions facing founders, investors, and technology leaders are being turned into working conversations. How do you build defensibility when an AI platform can ship into your category? What does it actually take to land a first institutional check? How should startups compete for AI talent? How do you price AI products sustainably? When should M&A become part of your strategy? What separates a company that investors find interesting from one they are prepared to fund? These aren’t theoretical questions for the people answering them. TheBuilders Stageis built around the realities of building and scaling companies: fundraising, hiring, product-market fit, product strategy, and growth.Roundtablesgo smaller and more interactive, creating space to get into the decisions behind the headlines.Breakoutsare where you go to ask direct questions to a panel of leaders. Across thewider agenda, founders, investors, and operators are tackling questions around AI agents, enterprise adoption, fintech, infrastructure, robotics, energy, security, and the changing economics of building technology companies. The point isn’t to collect more predictions — it’s to understand how people dealing with these shifts right now are responding to them. If you’re raising, you can hear investors explain what moves a company from a first meeting toward a term sheet. If you’re building, you can hear how other founders are thinking about product differentiation, AI economics, hiring, distribution, and scale. If you invest, you can see how operators are adapting their companies in real time and where new problems — and potentially new markets — are emerging. And if you lead product or technology, you can compare how companies across different sectors are approaching many of the same decisions you’re making internally. The goal is to leave with a sharper view of the options in front of you. Two days left.Bring your biggest questions. Leave with better ways to answer them.
