TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 Tackles Late-Stage Startup Evolution
Silicon Valley’s premier startup conference will examine how companies are transforming their path to public markets. TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 takes place October 27-29 at Moscone West in San Francisco.
David George, partner at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), headlines the “Going Public” stage. The venture capital veteran will address how startups are reshaping traditional late-stage strategies. His appearance signals growing investor focus on public market preparation.
The three-day event targets entrepreneurs, investors, and tech leaders navigating today’s complex funding landscape. Late-stage companies face mounting pressure to demonstrate sustainable growth before going public. Recent market volatility has forced startups to reconsider timing and valuation expectations.
TechCrunch Disrupt historically attracts over 10,000 attendees and features hundreds of startups competing for recognition. The conference serves as a barometer for industry trends and emerging technologies. This year’s programming emphasizes practical strategies for scaling companies.
George’s participation reflects a16z’s significant influence in late-stage investing. The firm has backed numerous successful public offerings, including Airbnb, Coinbase, and Roblox. His insights will likely focus on market readiness and investor expectations.
Registration remains open for the October conference. The event promises to deliver actionable intelligence for companies preparing for public markets. Attendees can expect comprehensive coverage of funding strategies, regulatory considerations, and market timing decisions that define successful public transitions.
