TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026 is set to take place tomorrow, November 4, at Boston’s SoWa Power Station. Presented by Fidelity Private Shares, this event will gather founders and investors for a day dedicated to practical insights on building and scaling startups. Tickets are currently available with significant discounts, including up to $100 off individual passes and a special buy-one-get-one-free offer to bring a partner, as well as group discounts up to 30%. This is a prime opportunity for attendees to secure savings before prices increase at 9 a.m. ET when doors open.

The day’s agenda is tailored to address core challenges founders face, such as identifying product-market fit, knowing the right time to scale, and effectively communicating with investors. Sessions are divided between the Build Stage, which offers tactical lessons on fundraising, distribution, team building, and pitching, and the Impact Stage, which focuses on broader growth strategies, enterprise customer acquisition, and leadership decisions. Prominent industry leaders, including Steve Fredette of Toast and Chase Garbarino of HqO, will share insights on how to grow companies from Boston and beyond, challenging the notion that Silicon Valley is the only hub for startup success.

Beyond the main stage talks, the summit provides smaller roundtable discussions for deeper exploration of specific issues such as entering difficult verticals, leveraging AI to reduce challenges like hallucinations, and building teams for market-defining companies. Founders can also participate in the live pitch competition, where they will receive real-time feedback from investors including Dave Balter of True Ventures and Chirag Shah of Define Ventures. Networking is enhanced by the Braindate app, facilitating meaningful one-on-one and group conversations centered on shared challenges and goals.

The event will close with a reception hosted by Fidelity Private Shares for further informal connections among attendees. TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026 represents a comprehensive founder bootcamp combining education, interaction, and community building to help entrepreneurs refine their skills and strategy. Founders interested in attending are encouraged to register now to lock in current pricing and take advantage of the partner pass offer before ticket rates increase tomorrow morning.
