Networking shouldn’t mean walking into a crowded room and hoping you happen to meet the right person. At TechCrunch Founder Summi t, presented by Fidelity Private Shares, founders and VCs have several ways to make the connections they build beyond the sessions more intentional.

Make game-changing connections, gain valuable insights, and get the advice you need to propel your idea and startup forward. Grab your pass now to save up to $100 and get a second pass free before doors open.

Networking intended to push the needle

The Founder Summit Networking Lounge, powered by Braindate, gives attendees the ability to schedule one-on-one and small-group conversations around specific topics.

That means you don’t have to leave networking entirely to chance.

Want to compare fundraising strategies?

Talk about a hiring challenge?

Find another founder trying to crack enterprise sales?

Meet someone building in Boston?

Bring a question, offer your own experience, and find people who want to have the same conversation.

Turn sessions into conversations

Braindate also gives attendees an opportunity to continue ideas that start elsewhere in the program.

Hear Kent Bennett discuss product-market fit, then connect with another founder wrestling with the same question.

Watch founders put their pitches in front of investors, then compare notes with someone preparing for a raise.

Hear Chase Garbarino talk about building in Boston, then meet other founders doing exactly that.

The sessions can start the conversation. Networking gives you somewhere to take it next.

Connect across the entire Founder Summit experience

The connections aren’t limited to one lounge. Roundtables create smaller, topic-driven conversations. Breakout sessions are where on-stage panels address questions from those in the room. The Expo Hall brings attendees and partners together throughout the day. The closing reception gives founders, investors, and operators time to continue conversations without rushing to another session.

And the TechCrunch Founder Summit experience extends beyond the venue and event day with official Side Events happening throughout Boston all week long.

Sometimes the most useful thing you leave an event with isn’t another page of notes. It’s a person you didn’t know that morning.
