TechCrunch has launched a limited-time buy-one-get-one-50%-off offer for Disrupt 2026 passes, giving attendees five days to lock in discounts on paired tickets before prices rise. The promotion runs through May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT and applies to all ticket tiers—from investor passes offering $499 in savings to Expo+ tickets with $149 off a second entry.

The annual conference returns to San Francisco October 13-15, bringing together over 10,000 founders, investors, and tech leaders alongside 300 startups and 250 tactical sessions. The event frames attending with a colleague as essential: attendees can split up to cover more ground, compare insights in real time, and turn conversations into concrete next steps.

Pass categories target specific audiences. Investor passes include curated networking and direct founder access, while founder passes connect attendees with stage-aligned investors and operators. Startup Battlefield 200 offers participants a shot at $100,000 equity-free funding alongside TechCrunch coverage. The offer ends May 8—after that, solo ticket prices apply.
