  "account": "Next week marks the start of our biggest event of the year. To ensure sustainable pricing, we urge potential attendees to choose their ticket type ahead of time. After October 13th, prices will see an increase.\n\nThis gathering offers a unique opportunity to scale faster through funding, exposure, networking, and startup growth insights. It's an ideal platform for growing your portfolio by discovering breakthrough startups, emerging trends, and visionary founders.\n\nBy attending, you will acquire practical strategies and peer insights, equipping you with tools to scale operations effectively. The event also provides a platform to explore groundbreaking ideas, cutting-edge technologies, and connections that are shaping the future.\n\nYou'll find practical insights tailored for founders on critical topics such as fundraising, company building, scaling operations, and maintaining a founder-first approach while growing a business.\n\nThe event focuses on the expansion of AI in software and beyond, including robotics, autonomous systems, industrial operations, energy, climate tech, and scientific discovery. It also delves into the transformation of money movement through stablecoins, embedded finance, and digital payment infrastructure.\n\nMoreover, the event sheds light on the next generation of founders who are rebuilding physical-world infrastructure across energy, climate, manufacturing, and industrial systems. Notably, the growth of AI startups has made hiring and retention more challenging for every tech company. Competing for AI talent and navigating secondary markets are becoming increasingly complex.\n\nThe most valuable AI deployments today operate in areas beyond the reach of the cloud, necessitating a distinct technological approach. The concept of traction has evolved; what once took years is now expected within months, and a $0–$10M ARR is increasingly becoming the new standard for early-stage businesses.\n\nTechCrunch extends various opportunities for partners to engage directly with attendees before, during, and after the event. If your company is interested in participating, we encourage you to reach out to our sales team for more information.",
