The Disrupt Stage, only at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, is where tech’s biggest bets get made, live and unfiltered. It’s where startup dreams turn into $100,000 prizes in Startup Battlefield 200, and where the industry’s power players reveal what’s next.
The industry’s biggest voices take the main-stage spotlight
This year, we’re bringing Alphabet’s moonshot chief Astro Teller, Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, Netflix CTO Elizabeth Stone, and Vinod Khosla — never one to mince words — to the stage. Sequoia’s Roelof Botha will unpack the future of venture, Slate Auto is showcasing its first fully customizable electric truck, and Phia’s headline-making founders, Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni, are taking us inside one of the hottest new commerce startups on the scene.
They’ll be joined by Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, diving into the future of decentralized computing; Elad Gil, the investor and operator behind some of tech’s biggest success stories, offering his take on AI, capital, and the next wave of innovation; Roy Lee, the headline-grabbing mind behind Cluely; and Tristan Thompson, the NBA champion-turned-AI founder, sharing how he’s merging sports, analytics, and automation.
And yes, we’ll also hear from San Francisco mayor Daniel Lurie, making his case for why startups — from early-stage scrappers to IPO-ready giants — should bet on building in San Francisco.
