Go Beyond the Bay Area, Join Us at Founder Summit

The TechCrunch Founder Summit in 2026 invites entrepreneurs to expand their horizons beyond the Bay Area. Attendees have the opportunity to invest in their startup's growth by attending the event with a business partner, gaining valuable founder insights, and engaging in high-quality, curated networking. The summit offers group discounts for parties ranging from four to twelve members.

It is important to note that group and bundle savings cannot be combined with other promotions or discounts, and must be purchased as a single transaction. These discounts only apply to groups of four or more participants with the same pass type; mixing pass types is not permitted. Refunds are available for cancellations made before August 7, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PT, with the amount being refunded to the original method of purchase.

Tickets are non-refundable after this date. 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 acceptable, but the badge cannot be changed once printed, except for spelling errors or nickname updates. Badge transfers are possible, but a $45 reprint fee will be charged on-site.

TechCrunch verifies the identity of attendees and evaluates the appropriateness of the pass type booked. To update ticket information, attendees can access the "Manage Your Registration Details" link in their confirmation email. Email addresses cannot be changed through this link; for that, contact [email protected] Exchanges are allowed only once per ticket, with a fee for upgrading to a more expensive pass and no refund for downgrading.

Exchanges require proof of qualification and must be sent to [email protected]. Each badge is linked to a single individual, and ID checks are conducted at registration and conference entrances.
