Summary
Braindate will power 1:1 and small-group meetings at TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026 on Nov. 4 at Boston’s SoWa Power Station, aiming to match founders, investors and operators around specific problems.
The networking lounge is designed to turn chance encounters into scheduled discussions on fundraising, hiring, product-market fit, enterprise sales and scaling challenges.
That setup extends conversations from the summit’s Build and Impact stages, where speakers including Bessemer’s Kent Bennett, True Ventures’ Dave Balter and Toast co-founder Steve Fredette will address growth and pitching questions.
Current passes include breakout sessions, roundtables, Braindate access, the Expo Hall and post-event materials, while buyers can still save up to $100 and get a second pass free.
