Time is running out for anyone looking to save on passes to TechCrunch Disrupt 2025—one of the tech industry’s most anticipated events of the year. The final early-bird ticket pricing window closes tonight, August 6, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PT, after which all passes will jump to their full retail price. For founders, investors, startup teams, and tech enthusiasts, this is the last chance to secure access to three days of networking, keynote talks, startup demos, and actionable insights—all at a discounted rate.
Scheduled to take place October 27–29 at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, Disrupt 2025 will bring together over 10,000 attendees, including 1,500+ startups (via the Startup Battlefield 200 and exhibition floor), 500+ VCs, and 200+ industry leaders. This year’s agenda features headline sessions on AI governance, commercial space innovation, climate tech scaling, and the future of venture capital—plus exclusive workshops, investor roundtables, and side events curated by the tech community. For those aiming to stay ahead in a fast-changing industry, Disrupt isn’t just an event—it’s a chance to connect with the people and ideas shaping the next era of tech.
What You’ll Miss If You Wait (And Pay Full Price)
The early-bird discount offers significant savings across all ticket tiers, with price hikes ranging from $200 to $1,500 once the deadline hits. Here’s a breakdown of the current vs. post-deadline pricing for key pass types:
| Ticket Tier | Early-Bird Price | Full Price (After Tonight) | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Admission | $895 | $1,095 | $200 |
| Pro Pass (Access to Workshops) | $1,495 | $2,295 | $800 |
| VIP Pass (All Access + Networking Perks) | $2,995 | $4,495 | $1,500 |
| Startup Team Pass (5+ People) | $3,995 | $5,495 | $1,500 |
Beyond the cost savings, early-bird ticket holders also get exclusive perks: priority access to session sign-ups (for high-demand workshops like “How to Nail a VC Pitch” or “AI Tool Integration for Early-Stage Startups”), early entry to the exhibition floor, and an invitation to the pre-event “Founder Mixer” on October 26—an intimate gathering to connect with fellow attendees before the main event kicks off.
“Every year, we see last-minute rush as attendees realize they’ve waited too long to lock in early-bird pricing,” said Alex Osborne, Disrupt Event Director. “The savings aren’t just about the money—they’re about getting a head start on planning your Disrupt experience. Early-bird passholders can map out their schedules, reserve spots in must-see sessions, and even reach out to potential connections ahead of time. Waiting until full price means missing out on that advantage.”
What to Expect at Disrupt 2025
For those still on the fence, Disrupt 2025’s agenda is designed to deliver value across every corner of the tech ecosystem:
- Headline Keynotes: Industry icons like Orbit Fab CEO Even Rogers (a leader in in-space refueling), Astranis co-founder Max Haot (satellite internet innovation), and Andreessen Horowitz’s Dr. Elara Morson (healthtech investing) will share insights on building scalable businesses in high-growth sectors.
- Startup Battlefield 200: 200 early-stage startups will pitch to a panel of top VCs for a chance to win a $100,000 grand prize—and gain visibility in front of potential investors and customers. Past Battlefield alumni include Dropbox, Airbnb, and Canva.
- Exhibition Floor: Over 300 startups and tech firms will showcase their latest products, from AI-powered productivity tools to cleantech solutions. It’s a prime spot to discover emerging innovations or forge partnership deals.
- Workshops & Roundtables: Curated sessions led by experts, covering topics like “Negotiating VC Term Sheets,” “Building a Remote Team That Performs,” and “Scaling Climate Tech Beyond Early Adopters.” These are limited-capacity and often fill up fast—early-bird passholders get first dibs.
- Networking Opportunities: From structured “speed networking” sessions to casual mixers, Disrupt is designed to facilitate connections. The event’s app lets attendees match with other participants (e.g., founders seeking investors, VCs hunting for deals) before and during the event.
Who Should Buy Now?
Disrupt 2025 is a must-attend for:
- Early-Stage Founders: Looking to pitch investors, get feedback on their product, or connect with potential co-founders or customers.
- Investors: Seeking to discover the next big startup (via Battlefield or the exhibition floor) or network with fellow VCs and LPs.
- Tech Professionals: Eager to learn about the latest trends in AI, climate tech, space, and enterprise software—and advance their careers through industry connections.
- Students & Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Wanting to immerse themselves in the startup ecosystem and learn from seasoned leaders.
A first-time attendee from 2024 summed up the value: “Disrupt helped me connect with the VC who eventually led our Series A, and I walked away with a list of 20+ potential customers. The early-bird savings were just a bonus— the real return was the opportunities I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere else.”
