Have hard-won scaling lessons to share? Take the stage at TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026

Here's something that caught my attention — TechCrunch is inviting startup founders and investors to share their hard-earned lessons at the 2026 Founder Summit. If you've been through the ups and downs of scaling a high-growth startup, this is your shot to lead a roundtable or breakout session. Now, here's where it gets interesting — according to TechCrunch Events, your insights could influence hundreds of other founders and investors, shaping the future of startup growth. They’re looking for real-world stories, the things that didn’t go as planned, and what you learned along the way. As TechCrunch reports, this isn’t just about bragging rights — it's about helping the next wave of entrepreneurs avoid the same pitfalls. So what does this actually mean? If you're someone with experience in building, backing, or operating high-growth startups, you’ve got a chance to make a real impact. The deadline’s April 17, so don’t wait too long. That’s the kind of opportunity that can elevate your voice — and maybe even spark a new wave of innovation.
