Be the expert in the room at TechCrunch Early Stage 2024
First things first. A TechCrunch roundtable is a 30-minute, expert-led session focused on a topic that benefits early-stage startup founders. This is your opportunity to be the expert in the room and lead a presentation designed to help emerging startup founders build a strong foundation for success.
Here’s how it works. Submit an application — including a title and abstract describing your proposed roundtable. The TechCrunch speaker-management team will review all applications and select five finalists to move on to the Audience Choice voting round.
TechCrunch readers will vote for the roundtable they want to see at TC Early Stage. Only one winner — the topic that receives the most votes — wins a roundtable speaking slot at the conference.
Note: Topics must be relevant to early-stage founders and fall into one of two tracks: idea or minimum viable product (MVP).
Keep these important dates in mind:
- Application deadline: January 10 at 11:59 p.m. PT
- Audience Choice finalists notified: January 24
- Voting period: February 1–15
- Winners announced: February 21
