TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026: Everything You Need to Know

TechCrunch Founder Summit is a full-day gathering in Boston on November 4, 2026, where founders at every stage connect with top VCs and experienced entrepreneurs to gain tactical insights on building and scaling their companies. It continues TechCrunch's long tradition of founder-centric events—intentionally smaller and more hands-on than Disrupt.

For founders who want to get into the weeds during a one-day crash course, Founder Summit is the ideal place to get a head start on 2027 planning—whether you're focused on hiring, establishing product-market fit, finding investors, sharpening your leadership skills, or more.

Before diving into the event details, note that tickets are available at a $100 discount for investors and founders. Whether you're a student and aspiring founder or an investor looking to meet the next wave of East Coast innovators, there's an option for you.

Who Is TechCrunch Founder Summit For?

Every founder eventually grapples with the extensive, complicated mechanics of building a company from the ground up: fundraising, hiring, legal, marketing, PR, and leadership. Investors, meanwhile, need the means to vet, invest in, and develop founders as they build out their skills.

Founder Summit is the best way to work through these challenging questions alongside community members who have been there and lived to tell the tale—through both constructive failure and massive success.

When and Where Is TechCrunch Founder Summit?

The event takes place on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at the SoWa Power Station in Boston. The venue is accessible via public transportation and a short walk from the Back Bay and Tufts Medical Center stops on the Orange Line, or the Broadway stop on the Red Line.
