TechCrunch has cut prices on its Founder Summit 2026 by 25% for a limited time and added six small-group roundtables to the schedule. The event runs November 4 at SoWa Power Station in Boston.
The roundtables run from 10:45 a.m. to 2:35 p.m. and cover topics including enterprise sales, vertical strategy, artificial intelligence, lean teams and building a category that does not exist yet. Organizers say attendees should bring their own questions about what is happening inside their companies.
Alexandra Ames, founder and chief event strategist at Blueprint Lab, opens the roundtables at 10:45 a.m. with a session on how early-stage companies can approach events before they can pay for a full-time events team. At 11:30 a.m., two sessions run in parallel. Chirag Shah, a partner at Define Ventures, addresses founders entering hard-to-reach markets such as regulated industries. Shishir Tewari, head of enterprise data engineering at Procore Technologies, discusses how knowledge graphs and GraphRAG can give AI systems stronger context in real-world organizations.
The afternoon block begins at 1:15 p.m. with Merve Kitapci, managing partner and CGO of ADIN.AI, whose session is built around landing accounts like L'Oreal and Vodafone before a Series A. At 1:55 p.m., Andy Tang, a partner at Draper Associates, leads a discussion for founders building products outside an established category. Linden Tibbets, CEO and founder of IFTTT, closes the roundtables at 2:35 p.m. with a look at how smaller teams can use AI to raise output without adding headcount.
The main program covers product-market fit, hiring, founder leadership, fundraising and pitching. Toast co-founder Steve Fredette is scheduled to speak, and founders will compete in a live pitch competition called So You Think You Can Pitch? A Networking Lounge with Braindate and a closing reception presented by Fidelity Private Shares are also on the schedule.
Tickets are currently 25% off for a limited time. A limited buy-one-get-one deal lets attendees bring a colleague for free.
