LP, VC & Funded Founder Networking + Demo
A curated gathering for investors, capital allocators, and founders building the next generation of enduring companies.
During TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, join a select community of LPs, GPs, and funded founders for an intimate evening of high-quality conversations, new relationships, and thoughtful exchange around the future of technology and venture capital.
This gathering brings together:
LPs & Family Offices - exploring emerging managers, differentiated strategies, and high-conviction opportunities
VCs, GPs & Emerging Managers - connecting with capital partners, co-investors, and exceptional founders
Funded Founders - building venture-backed companies across AI, DeepTech, robotics, infrastructure, biotech, climate, fintech, and other frontier categories
Strategic Investors & Ecosystem Leaders - creating partnerships across capital, technology, and industry
Rather than traditional conference networking, the evening is designed around quality over quantity with 8 selected funded startups pitching - bringing together people who are actively deploying capital, building companies, supporting exceptional teams, or shaping the next generation of technology.
Expect meaningful introductions, candid conversations, and opportunities to build relationships beyond TechCrunch Disrupt.
Limited capacity. Curated attendance.
Come for the conversations. Stay for the relationships.
