TechCrunch All Stage, our big event for founders of startups at all stages of funding (see what we did there?), is coming up July 15 at Boston’s SoWa Power Station. And it’s our pleasure to announce that Underscore VC’s investing partner Chris Gardner will join a loaded lineup of speakers by leading a breakout session titled “MVP in the Age of AI: When to Bot and When to Not.” Spoiler: Expect to learn a lot about using AI for minimum viable products.
Our limited-time discounts on Investor and Founder Passes are ending soon, with each discounted by at least $200 with an additional discount on group buys of four or more. If you’re looking to get the insights you need to scale or make connections with the VCs who can make that scaling possible, this is your chance to meet and learn from more than 1,200 attendees in the heart of Boston.

Insights on the benefits and limits of AI in building products
We know — AI is the buzzword in seemingly every company’s pitch and product roadmap, as well as in the programming and side conversations at events like TC All Stage. But with this session, Chris has a focus on a crucial thing for startups to get right: developing MVPs that are actually kept at a minimum and actually viable.
That can come with significant help from AI, which can lead to a rate of software development and prototyping that would have seemed ridiculous a few years ago. But it can also limit your potential, leaving behind the human element that fuels every successful product’s construction and rollout. And that’s something that every startup, regardless of their fundraising stage, can learn from.
Get to know Chris Gardner
Chris joins the growing powerhouse lineup of speakers for this year’s TC All Stage, calling upon his years of experience across fintech, speech recognition, e-billing, and beyond. In previous roles, he led PayPal’s P2P, PayPal Here, and other projects following the acquisition of Paydiant, a company he co-founded — and he played a prominent role in PayPal’s $2.2 billion acquisition of iZettle.
Though his current day job is in pre-seed and seed B2B investments, he’s admittedly still eager to get involved in hands-on projects, which explains his choice of session topic at this year’s event.
But that’s just the beginning at TC All Stage
Before you even consider passing on the limited-time $200+ discount on Founder and Investor Passes at TC All Stage, keep in mind that this is just one of many sessions at the conference designed to give founders valuable insights. Sessions include an expert course in total addressable market assessment from Index Ventures’ Jahanvi Sardana, lessons on the new rules of growth-stage fundraising at Series C and beyond, the secrets of how VCs are really judging your pre-seed company, and more.
So take a look and snag the right ticket for you before prices increase!
