Your extensive experience in building, investing in, or managing high-growth startups is invaluable and could significantly influence the scaling strategies of the next generation of entrepreneurs.
On June 9, in Boston, the TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026 will convene over 1,000 founders and investors for an intensive day dedicated to exploring the practicalities of growth. We are actively seeking accomplished founders, venture capitalists, and startup operators to facilitate dynamic roundtable discussions centered on authentic, real-world execution — encompassing triumphs, challenges, and the invaluable insights gained through direct experience.
To be considered, please submit your proposed topic by April 17. Discover more details and submit your application today.
Regardless of whether you lead an interactive roundtable or a Q&A-style breakout session, every segment at the Founder Summit is meticulously designed for profound engagement. Each session will be a 30-minute, discussion-led conversation, guided by two to four speakers based on the chosen format. This approach ensures an environment free from slides or elaborate presentations, focusing instead on delivering candid insights and actionable takeaways that founders can implement immediately.
If your journey includes scaling revenue from inception to $50 million, successfully navigating challenging fundraising rounds, restructuring a team post-hypergrowth, executing international expansion, or fundamentally redefining your go-to-market strategy, this platform offers the ideal opportunity to share your proven methodologies.
Participating as a speaker at the TC Founder Summit provides a unique platform to establish yourself as an industry leader, forge valuable connections with a diverse audience of founders and investors, contribute meaningfully to the startup ecosystem, and elevate the visibility of both your personal brand and your company.
Furthermore, TechCrunch will significantly amplify your involvement through prominent agenda placement, dedicated editorial coverage on TechCrunch.com, and extensive social media promotion across its various channels.
With the TC Founder Summit scheduled for June 9, speaker selections will be finalized considerably in advance of the event. If you possess critical scaling insights that founders require, this is the opportune moment to submit your topic. Should you have multiple compelling ideas, we encourage you to submit each one.
Seize the opportunity to lead impactful conversations, share your invaluable lessons, and empower founders to build more intelligently. Ensure your submission to speak is completed before the April 17 deadline.
