Announcing the TechCrunch+ Stage Agenda at Disrupt 2022

Things have changed, and we want to understand the real landscape that startups have to navigate this year.As 2022 has progressed, we’ve taken an eraser and pencil to our planned topics and themes, meaning that we’re approaching some well-trod areas like fundraising, but from an updated perspective. We’re bringing a few venture capitalists that we know well, and trust to share the real nuts and bolts of early fundraising in 2022.While it’s always good to hear from venture capitalists when it comes to dollars and cents, how founders are navigating the capital market is just as important. So we’re going to have Chris Herd from Firstbase who is an advocate for remote-work at Firstbase, Kate Ryder who has built a global healthcare startup, and Emil Yeargin, VP of Talent at Gusto which is not only hiring itself, but also helps other companies manage their staff. We’re gathering some CEOs with a little bit of experience on the matter to help guide more early-stage founders.A common refrain from venture capitalists last year was that software valuations weren’t too high, as the TAM, or total addressable market for tech companies was simply larger than folks had originally thought. More to come.This is another panel we’re still finalizing, but Reddit Chief Product Officer Pali Bhat is coming to Disrupt to help founders hone their definitions of product-market fit. if ( iframe ) { var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id );
