Twenty visionary founders have been selected to present at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. This year, they aim to measure the unmeasurable, from the biological clocks inside our bodies to the movements of wild animals. Their technologies range from advanced robotics and machine learning to hydrogen-powered space cannons, all with the goal of making complex systems more understandable and manageable.

From Longshot Space’s giant cannon to Laplace Intelligence’s world models, these companies are pushing boundaries in energy, manufacturing, health and beyond. They are transforming how we interact with the physical world, making it more measurable and predictable.

The selected companies will vie for the $100,000 prize and the Disrupt Cup over two days of intense semifinals. The ultimate winner will be crowned on Thursday, 15 October, proving that innovation knows no bounds. Watch the excitement unfold live, and experience the future of tech.
