Go Beyond the Bay Area, Join Us at Founder Summit

The TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026 invites startups to expand their horizons beyond the Bay Area. Attendees, along with a business partner, can gain invaluable founder insights and participate in high-quality curated networking events. The summit offers group deals, with a discount available when registering for a group of 4 to 12 members. These group and bundle savings can only be applied when a group of the same pass type is purchased in one transaction, and cannot be combined with other promotions.

Refunds are possible if canceled by August 7, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PT. After this date, tickets are non-refundable. Attendees are required to ensure that the name on their printed badge matches the name on their government-issued photo ID. Nicknames and abbreviations are accepted, but once printed, badge names cannot be changed except for spelling errors or transferring to a different person eligible for the same ticket type.

Transfer requests must be submitted through a specified form before October 23, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Once transferred, the original ticket is canceled, and the recipient must register themselves for the event. Lost badges incur a $45 reprint fee at the event. TechCrunch verifies attendees' identities and ensures they booked the appropriate pass type.

To update ticket information, access the “Manage Your Registration Details” link in the confirmation email. Email addresses cannot be changed through this link; contact [email protected] if necessary. Ticket exchanges are allowed once, with higher-priced ticket exchanges requiring payment of the price difference. Lower-priced exchanges do not offer refunds. Each badge is linked to one individual, and ID checks occur at registration and conference doors.
