From Toast to Bessemer: Who founders will hear from at TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026 

Building a startup means making decisions before you have all the answers. When should you scale? How do you know you really have product-market fit? What does it take to land enterprise customers? How do you build the right team? And when you finally get in front of an investor, how do you make sure your pitch earns another conversation?

On November 4 at SoWa Power Station in Boston, TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026 will bring together founders, investors, and operators who have tackled those questions from different sides of the table. Hosted by TechCrunch in partnership with Fidelity Private Shares, the full-day event goes beyond fundraising and AI to explore the realities of finding customers, building teams, sharpening a pitch, developing founder leadership, and scaling companies both inside and outside traditional startup hubs.
