It's been 2 days. That's all you need to secure your spot with your partners, co-founders, and colleagues at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026.
Currently, when you buy one pass, you get 50% off a second pass of the same type of ticket, but that offer ends on May 8th at 11:59pm PT. Then the price goes up and the opportunity to provide more perspective, more context, and clearer information is lost.
The advantage at this stage depends on how quickly you can set off with a clear understanding of what to do next. So securing your pass now and deciding who to bring with you is more important than waiting.
Disrupt is where leveling up becomes clear
Success in the startup ecosystem depends on knowing what to do next and being able to move forward with confidence. For founders, investors, and business owners, the challenge is not a lack of ideas. It's clarity.
There are too many signals, opinions, and possible directions. Product decisions become stagnant. The timing of investment will be extended. It runs slow not because there is no path, but because it is not obvious.
Disrupt compresses that uncertainty into three days of high-impact programming, unparalleled networking, and real-time insights from the people actively shaping the market, giving you access to clarity that's difficult to replicate elsewhere. It's also even harder to access after the May 8 deadline to secure your 50% off second pass.

Let's see how the waves will make waves in the industry
One of the biggest benefits of attending Disrupt is witnessing how decisions are made in action.
Startup Battlefield 200 makes that clear. When founders pitch live in front of experienced VC judges and a global audience, you don't just watch, you learn what's challenged, what resonates, and what ultimately stands out.
This level of transparency is difficult to replicate elsewhere. That's why locking the path while you're in the room and can bring someone in for 50% off is more important than trying to piece together these signals after the fact.
Clarity comes from comparison, not isolation.
What makes Disrupt different is how patterns emerge across sessions, rather than just one session. Hear one perspective, test it at the roundtable, and see it reinforced or challenged in the day's conversations. Over time, the signals become clearer.
For founders, that may mean refining the direction of the product. For investors, it's about finding something that stands out. Pressure test how you build and scale for operators.
Bringing in co-founders, operators, and partners will further accelerate that clarity. You can compare interpretations, question assumptions, and make better decisions in real time while the context is still fresh. This benefit can only be secured by securing your seat before the 50% off 2nd pass offer ends.

2 days left to buy one, get the second one for 50% off
The 50% off second pass ends on May 8th at 11:59 PM PT.
If Disrupt is already popular, the decision now is not whether to participate, but whether you are willing to act faster than those who are waiting. Especially since you have the chance to take someone for 50% off for the next two days. Register before the week ends to get these discounts.
Because once the offer ends, you're not just paying more, you're making the next set of decisions without clear information about what others are working on.
