Two days. That’s all that’s left to lock in your place — with your partner, co-founder, or colleague — at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026.
Right now, you can buy one pass and get 50% off a second of the same ticket type, but that offer ends May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT. After that, prices go up, and the opportunity to show up with more perspective, more context, and more clarity disappears with it.
At this stage, the advantage comes down to how quickly you leave with a clear sense of what to do next, which is why securing your pass now and deciding who to bring with you matters more than waiting.
Success in the startup ecosystem depends on knowing what to do next — and moving on it with confidence. Across founders, investors, and operators, the challenge isn’t a lack of ideas. It’s clarity.
There are too many signals, too many opinions, and too many possible directions. Product decisions stall. Investment timing stretches. Execution slows, not because the path isn’t there, but because it isn’t obvious.
Disrupt compresses that uncertainty into three days of high-impact programming, unparalleled networking, and real-time insight from the people actively shaping the market, giving you access to clarity that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere, and even harder to access if you wait past the May 8 deadline to secure your second pass for 50% off.

See how waves in the industry get made
One of the biggest advantages of being at Disrupt is witnessing how decisions actually happen.
Startup Battlefield 200 makes that clear. As founders pitch live in front of seasoned VC judges and a global audience, you’re not just watching — you’re seeing what gets challenged, what resonates, and what ultimately stands out.
That level of transparency is hard to replicate elsewhere, which is exactly why being in the room — and locking in your pass while you can still bring someone with you for 50% off — matters more than trying to piece these signals together after the fact.
Clarity comes from comparison, not isolation
What makes Disrupt different isn’t any one session — it’s how patterns emerge across them. You hear one perspective, test it in a roundtable, and see it reinforced — or challenged — in conversation later that day. Over time, the signal becomes clear.
For founders, that might mean refining product direction. For investors, spotting what stands out. For operators, pressure-testing how to build and scale.
Bringing a co-founder, operator, or partner accelerates that clarity. You compare interpretations in real time, challenge assumptions, and make better decisions while the context is still fresh — an advantage you can only lock in by securing your place before the 50% off a second pass offer ends.

Two days left to buy one, get the second at 50% off
If Disrupt is already on your radar, the decision now isn’t whether to attend — it’s whether you’re willing to move faster than the people who wait — especially when, for the next two days, you still have the opportunity to bring someone with you at 50% off. Register before this week ends to get these savings.
Because once the offer ends, you’re not just paying more — you’re making your next set of decisions without the clarity everyone else is working from.

A video has shown some members of Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (the Izala sect) chanting and demanding AK-47 rifles to shoot Christian infidels in Enugu and Jos, the capital of Plateau.
In the video, a young man dressed in Izala Volunteer Corps uniform, a beige and blue beret colour, chanted, “Give us AK. Give AK. Let’s go to Enugu among infidels on Sunday while they are worshipping. Let’s open fire on them.” Several others chanted along with him in the video.
The chorus leader called for AK-47 rifles to invade churches in Jos.
Sheikh Bala Lau, the national chairman of JIBWIS, on Monday condemned the call for violence by its sect members, urging the State Security Service, the police and other relevant security agencies to immediately investigate the incident, identify those responsible and ensure that anyone found culpable is brought to justice in accordance with the law.
A netizen, @Arojinle, said, “That’s Izala’s uniform. I hope the @PoliceNG and @OfficialDSSNG take action before we have another terrorist faction within us. One major problem is that Izala adherents are not in the North alone. They exist in Hausa-dominated microenvironments. I’ve seen their branded bus at Sabo, Ìbàdàn, several times.”
“Just watched a disturbing video of this Izala (JIBWIS) Agaji member singing a gyration song while leading his team, saying, “Give me AK-47 so that I will go to Enugu and kill infidels (arna) on Sunday while they are praying and happy. Give me guns to go to Jos and kill more infidels—that is the Sunnah, that is the training,” @Timmosion said. “You may think this is just music or a joke, but deep down, that is their true mindset. The only thing standing between them and carrying out such thoughts is the secular state and its laws.”
@Abdul_Ahmad said, “With all due respect, this is completely wrong and not part of the teaching of Islam. I’m calling the attention of the Izala 2 leadership under Sheikh Bala Lau and Kabiru Gombe to look into this matter with immediate effect so as not to produce more extremists.”
Police spokesperson Ani Iniedu did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the video.
Osun State chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has urged Nigerians to vote against the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2027 general elections, accusing the party of failing to demonstrate the capacity to manage the country effectively.
The ADC also dismissed allegations that it had failed to pay its secretariat staff for more than a year, describing the claim as an attempt by the APC to undermine its credibility and portray it as unfit to govern Nigeria.
The party stated this in a statement signed by its Osun State Publicity Secretary, Oluwaseun Abosede, on Tuesday.
The statement was in response to a statement attributed to the APC Presidential Campaign Council.
“The APC’s attempt to portray the ADC as a party incapable of governing Nigeria is neither an argument based on sound reasoning nor a credible assessment of our capacity to lead,” the statement read.
ADC argued that the ruling party was attempting to divert public attention from the economic challenges facing Nigerians, including rising living costs, insecurity and mounting financial pressures on households and businesses.
“Nigerians are interested in leadership that delivers results, not an administration that issues statements condemning its opponents while struggling to convince citizens that its own record deserves another mandate," it added.
The opposition party also accused the APC Presidential Campaign Council of targeting its National Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola, over issues surrounding salary modulation and outstanding pension obligations during his tenure as Osun State governor.
It criticised the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, and the APC for allegedly reducing Aregbesola’s eight-year administration to a single issue while overlooking its policies on infrastructure, education and other sectors.
Highlighting the administration’s achievements, the ADC said it constructed 170 model schools, comprising 100 elementary schools, 50 middle schools and 20 high schools.
It also cited reduced fees in state-owned tertiary institutions, bursary payments and assistance for medical students undertaking clinical training abroad.
The party said the Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme, O-YES, created employment opportunities for thousands of young people, while road projects delivered more than 300 kilometres of township roads and 222 kilometres of rural roads through interventions supported by the World Bank and the French government under the Rural Access and Mobility Project.
On healthcare, the ADC said the administration "upgraded or rehabilitated more than nine state hospitals and 12 comprehensive health centres."
It also cited the establishment of the Osun Ambulance Service, alongside the Omoluabi Garment Factory, the O’Clean environmental sanitation initiative and projects aimed at reducing flooding.
The party added that the administration introduced social welfare programmes, including Agba Osun for older residents and O-Widow for widows, while supporting agriculture and food production.
It maintained that it would focus on policy proposals and practical solutions rather than exchanging insults with the APC.
“The time has come for Nigerians to reject political propaganda and demand accountable leadership that prioritises the welfare of the people. We urge voters to use their ballots in the 2027 general elections to decide the ruling party’s political future," it concluded.
