Winning as a startup is not just about pitching

Progressing from idea to IPO takes time, and how you spend that time can make the difference between getting stuck or scaling up. Many think it’s the pitch that slows things down. But in reality it is access.

Fundraising is a long game of chasing proximity. Cold range. Missed intros. Weeks of waiting for answers that never come. You spend as much time getting in front of the right investors as you do refining your story. Without access, capital is in motion. Deals are being made. Just not with you.

When Disrupt comes to Moscone West in San Francisco from October 13 to 15, 2026, the access won’t be accidental because it’s built into the experience. Those who attend will have access to:

• Deal Flow Café: A dedicated space for real conversations between investors and founders.

• Composite matchmaking: Targeted 1:1 and small group meetings with aligned investors.

• Proximity to the Expo Hall: Turn cold outreach into live demos and real conversations.

You shift from chasing attention to securing influence

Your Disrupt ticket gives you access to candid, tactical, and unfiltered insights from active founders, top investors, and operators scaling real businesses, such as:
