TechCrunch Disrupt 2026: Book Your Startup Exhibit Table for October 13-15 Before Space Runs Out

TL;DR
- TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 returns to Moscone West in San Francisco from October 13-15, and startup exhibit tables are selling out fast with limited space remaining.
- Exhibiting startups get a 3-day showcase table plus founder passes, investor networking access, and massive media exposure to 10,000+ attendees, VCs, and partners.
- Early booking is critical to secure placement and save on costs — tables are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and are expected to sell out weeks before the event.
Why Disrupt 2026 Is the Startup Stage That Matters
TechCrunch Disrupt is back and bigger than ever. From October 13-15, 2026, Moscone West in San Francisco will transform into the epicenter of the startup universe, hosting more than 10,000 founders, investors, operators, and press for three days of non-stop innovation. For early-stage startups looking to break out, there is no more concentrated opportunity to get discovered.
But if you want to be on the show floor and not just in the crowd, time is running out. Exhibit tables for startups are now available to book, and with limited floor space and surging demand, TechCrunch is warning that tables will sell out well before October.
What You Get With a Startup Exhibit Table
Securing an exhibit table at Disrupt isn't just about getting a spot on the expo floor — it's a full launch platform. The Startup Exhibit Package is designed to give early-stage companies maximum visibility without the enterprise-level price tag.
Each package typically includes:
- A dedicated exhibit table on the Disrupt Expo Floor for all three days of the show, placing you directly in front of foot traffic from investors, customers, and media.
- Founder passes for your team, including full access to all stages, breakout sessions, and networking events.
- Inclusion in the official Disrupt app and exhibitor listing, where investors and attendees actively search for new companies to meet.
- Access to investor and press lists, plus the ability to network through Braindate and curated investor office hours.
- Branding and lead-generation tools to help you capture contacts and book meetings on the spot.
Exhibitors also get prime exposure alongside the iconic Startup Battlefield 200 — the cohort of 200 hand-picked early-stage startups that get additional pitching, mentoring, and investor attention. Even if you're not in the Battlefield, exhibiting puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with the most talked-about companies of the year.
Who Should Exhibit — And Why Now
Disrupt is built for pre-Series A to Series B startups that are ready to scale, fundraise, or find their first major customers and partners. Whether you're in AI, fintech, SaaS, climate tech, health tech, hardware, or frontier tech, the audience is intentionally broad — and intentionally full of check-writers.
Last year’s Disrupt drew hundreds of VCs from firms like Sequoia, a16z, Greylock, and Accel, alongside corporate innovation arms and angel investors hunting for their next deal. For startups, that means a single conversation at your table can turn into a term sheet, a pilot program, or a headline on TechCrunch itself.
The urgency is real. Exhibit tables are limited by venue capacity at Moscone West and are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. TechCrunch has already opened booking and historically sells out of startup tables weeks in advance. Waiting until September could mean missing your chance entirely.
How to Maximize Your Exposure on the Show Floor
Booking the table is just step one. The startups that get the most ROI from Disrupt treat it as a three-day growth sprint.
Pitch constantly, not just at your table. Disrupt stages and networking zones are built for serendipity — have your 30-second pitch ready for every hallway conversation.
Pre-book meetings before you arrive. Use the Disrupt attendee app to reach out to investors and potential partners early. Many VCs fill their calendars a week before the event.
Leverage TechCrunch press on site. TechCrunch editors and journalists from top-tier outlets roam the floor looking for stories. A clear demo, a bold banner, and a one-pager can make you stand out.
Activate your network. Announce your exhibit location on LinkedIn and X ahead of time, invite existing investors and customers to stop by, and drive traffic to your table with live demos and giveaways.
Pricing, Deadlines, and How to Book Before Space Runs Out
TechCrunch offers tiered pricing for startup exhibitors, with the best rates available to those who book early. While final 2026 pricing is listed on the official Disrupt exhibit page, startups can expect significant savings by reserving before the final sell-out push in late summer. All exhibit packages include multiple attendee tickets, making it more cost-effective than buying individual passes.
To secure your spot for October 13-15, you can apply and book directly through the TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 website. The process involves a short application to verify your startup qualifies as an early-stage company, followed by table selection and payment. Once confirmed, you'll receive exhibitor onboarding details, logistics information, and access to the networking platform.
With less than two months to go until showtime and tables already moving quickly, the window to claim your place among the most promising startups in tech is closing fast. If Disrupt 2026 is on your roadmap for fundraising, hiring, or customer acquisition, now is the time to lock in your table — before the sold-out sign goes up.
