The world of startups has always been a thrilling roller coaster ride of innovation, disruption, and sheer genius. The kernel of every successful startup lies in the mastery of tactics - the insider secrets that erect the framework of a productive, category-defining organization. This year, the Builders Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, from October 27-29, pledges to be the battleground where these tactics are laid bare.

Renowned innovators including legendary investor Elad Gil, former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, and Flexport’s Ryan Petersen are amongst the distinguished minds set to grace the stage. Participants can anticipate an intimate peep into their experiences, their methodologies, and their wisdom. Whether grappling with your first term sheet or contemplating if AI should grace your hiring shortlist, the Builders Stage vows to provide answers. The promise extends to cover unembellished advice, innovative strategies, and the opportunity to get your toughest questions answered live.

The upcoming TechCrunch Disrupt event edges on the promise of connecting participants with the sharpest minds across ventures like Precursor Ventures, NEA, Index Ventures, Underscore VC, and beyond. The day-long event is fortified with relevant workshops and offers promising networking opportunities.

Among the other events to look forward to are a fireside chat with 01 Advisors’ Adam Bain, Dick Costolo and David Fischer and a crucial tete-a-tete on raising your first round of funding featuring Harlem Capital’s Gabby Cazeau, MaC Venture Capital’s Marlon Nichols, and Freestyle Capital’s Maria Palma.

The road to successful entrepreneurship has never been an easy one, with so much depending on extensive networking, learning from peers, and mixing it with the right audience. Shining a light on these paths is TechCrunch Disrupt’s Builders Stage, an arena that promises to be a cornerstone of candid conversations, fresh strategies, and live audience Q&As.
