Global Founders Panel
From bold panel insights to rapid-fire startup pitches, join our young cross-Atlantic founders for high-impact networking beyond TechCrunch.
As TechCrunch Disrupt takes over San Francisco, join us for a high-energy evening where Scandinavian and American entrepreneurship collide. The Global Founders Panel brings together founders, investors, and young global professionals for an inspiring cross-cultural exchange. The program will feature live startup pitching, a thought-provoking founder panel and a vibrant networking mixer, all designed to spark ideas, celebrate bold thinking, and build meaningful connections.
