TechCrunch Disrupt is the ultimate startup platform, transforming the way entrepreneurs and investors engage with each other. Initiated in 2021, this platform is giving the industry a much-needed makeover with cutting-edge opportunities. And this year, Disrupt 2023 is reimagining and refreshing itself by packing the entire Disrupt ecosystem into the main event.
San Francisco will play host to Disrupt 2023 for three days in September as founders, investors, and experts come together to discuss the most groundbreaking developments, learn about essential tools and make essential connections. Six industry tracks, plus the Builders Stage, are tailored to the biggest trends, covering topics from artificial intelligence to urban mobility and from DeFi to hardware. For those who really want to get to the bottom of something, the TC Sessions format makes a debut on the mothership – will give experts in charge of picking the most important topics a chance to speak directly to their peers.

No wonder, Startup Battlefield alumni have gone onto form the core of hundreds of successful startups and exits, with over $9.7 billion raised in funding.
