Announcing the TC Include Founders program at Disrupt 2023

We firmly believe that allfounders must have access to the tech world’s immense opportunities — and to our events. The TechCrunch Include Founders program is designed to promote and increase diversity at our events by making them more affordable to historically underrepresented founders.

Building more diversity at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023

Eligible TC Include founders can apply to purchase a TechCrunch Disrupt 2023 pass for 75% off the current founder pass rate — starting now and running through August 18. Tickets are limited, so apply early.

Read the fine print: You must apply for and book your TC Include Founder pass through the TC Include Founders page. You won’t find it listed on the Disrupt main ticket page.

TechCrunch Include program eligibility

If you fall within any of the following categories, you’re eligible to apply:

• Founders with disabilities
• Founders who are active military or veterans
• Founders who are minorities
• Founders who identify as women
• Founders who are LGBTQ+
• Founders who are age 65 and over

Please note that we review all applications. If we have any questions about your application, we will email you directly.

Your pass may cost 75% less, but it provides 100% of the access, including:

• All three days of Disrupt
• Exclusive investor and founder networking/lounge
• VC office hours
• VC roundtables
• 1:1 networking event app
• Curated content on all stages and breakouts
