Disrupt 2026 ticket deal: bring a teammate and save 50% on the second pass
The countdown is on for Disrupt 2026, one of the biggest startup and technology gatherings of the year. With the event set to open in San Francisco on October 13, organizers have introduced a limited-time ticket offer designed to help attendees bring the right person with them.
For a short time, when you buy one pass to Disrupt 2026, you can get 50% off a second pass of the same ticket type. The offer applies across all ticket categories and remains available until the venue doors open at Moscone West on October 13 at 8 a.m. PT.
Whether you’re a founder, investor, operator, student, nonprofit leader, or someone exploring the future of tech, attending with a second person can make the experience far more valuable. Bring a co-founder, colleague, business partner, teammate, or peer, and you can cover more sessions, meet more people, and turn more conversations into real opportunities.
Why attending Disrupt 2026 with someone else matters
A major startup conference can be difficult to experience alone. With hundreds of startups, thousands of attendees, and multiple stages running at once, there is simply too much happening for one person to catch everything.
Disrupt 2026 takes place from October 13 to 15 in San Francisco and is expected to bring together more than 10,000 founders, investors, startup operators, and technology leaders. The event will feature over 300 showcasing startups, more than 200 tactical sessions, and 250-plus speakers across industry stages, roundtables, and breakout sessions.
The event is also built around AI-powered matchmaking, helping attendees connect faster with the people most relevant to their goals. That could mean meeting potential investors, discovering promising startups, finding new hires, building partnerships, or learning from operators who have already scaled companies through key growth stages.
When you attend with someone else, you can split up and cover more ground. One person can join a founder-focused session while the other attends an investor roundtable. One can explore the startup expo while the other joins a networking session. Later, you can compare notes, discuss what you learned, and decide which conversations are worth following up on.
That kind of shared experience can turn a busy conference schedule into a focused business advantage.
A startup event built for every stage of growth
Disrupt 2026 is designed for people working across the full startup journey, from early ideas to high-growth companies preparing for major scale. It brings together those building products, funding companies, launching new ventures, exploring emerging technologies, and searching for what comes next.
For founders, the event offers a chance to meet investors, sharpen go-to-market strategies, learn from experienced operators, and discover what is working in today’s startup environment.
For investors, it creates opportunities to spot new companies, evaluate market trends, meet founders in person, and compare promising deals with partners.
For operators, it provides practical insights across product, engineering, growth, revenue, and scaling teams.
For students and early-career professionals, it offers a valuable entry point into the startup ecosystem.
For nonprofits and mission-driven teams, it creates space to explore how emerging technology can support real-world impact.

More than a discount: a smarter way to attend
The value of this limited-time offer is not only about saving money on a second ticket. It is about getting more from the time you spend at the event.
Attending alone can still be valuable, but attending with the right person can multiply the outcome. You can meet more people, attend more sessions, share takeaways, validate ideas, and move faster after the event ends.
For founders, that could mean stronger investor follow-ups. For investors, it could mean better deal evaluation. For operators, it could mean clearer priorities. For students, it could mean more meaningful connections. For teams, it could mean turning conference energy into real business momentum.
The offer ends when doors open
This 50% discount on a second pass is available only until Disrupt 2026 opens at Moscone West in San Francisco on October 13 at 8 a.m. PT. After that, the opportunity to attend together at this reduced price ends.
If you plan to attend with a colleague, co-founder, partner, friend, or teammate, now is the time to choose your ticket type and secure both passes.
And if you are attending solo, there is also a chance to save before prices increase on September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Disrupt 2026 brings together the people shaping the future of startups, venture capital, AI, emerging technology, product innovation, and company growth. Whether you are building, funding, hiring, learning, or exploring your next move, bringing the right person with you could help you get much more from the experience.
