TechCrunch Disrupt 2026: The VCs You Should Know

AI meets reality: These tech gurus will judge the next big thing.

For founders, Startup Battlefield 200 is a career-defining moment. For everyone else, it’s a crash course in startup evaluation. From October 13-15 at San Francisco’s Moscone West, 10,000+ tech leaders will witness six-minute pitches followed by grilling questions. Here’s who’s doing the grilling this year:


Vaibhav ‘Dr.V’ Agrawal, ODDBIRD VC, focuses on AI in health and bio. His past includes Lightspeed Venture Partners India and a doctorate from Stanford.


Anu Bharadwaj, ICONIQ Growth, has scaled Atlassian and led enterprise software. Her tech background is as robust as her title is impressive.


Sho Sho Leigha Ho, General Catalyst, is General Catalyst’s youngest partner, backing early-stage founders with a keen eye for future success.


Miloni Madan Presler, IVP, brings a disciplined growth equity perspective to technology companies. Her earlier roles at Summit Partners and Warburg Pincus add depth to her investment strategy.


Aidan Madigan-Curtis, Eclipse Ventures, focuses on AI, IoT, and climate transition. Her executive roles at Apple and Samsara are a testament to her vision and execution.


Register now to catch the action and save up to $200 on your pass before prices increase on September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Watch the next generation of startups compete for their place in TechCrunch history.
