Last-Minute TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 Deal — or: How to Panic-Buy Your Way Into Networking Hell

Right, so TechCrunch is at it again with their yearly circus — “Disrupt 2025,” where every wannabe startup messiah flocks to San Francisco to pitch their half-baked app ideas to venture capitalists who pretend to care. This time, the sneaky bastards have a “deal.” Yep, if you buy your plus-one’s pass before October 27, you get 60% off. Wow. What a bargain. You can bring your colleague, business partner, or whatever sorry sod you can drag along to watch you elbow other caffeine-fueled dreamers in the face at the networking bar.

It’s basically TechCrunch shouting, “We haven’t sold enough bloody tickets yet, please bring someone! Anyone!” The event kicks off on the 27th, so they’re dangling this “discount” like a stale doughnut to lure you in before the doors open. You get access to panels, startup showcases, and maybe the joy of explaining blockchain again for the two-hundredth goddamn time.

So yeah, if you like crowded rooms full of buzzword-spewing entrepreneurs, overpriced coffee, and people pretending their startup is “revolutionary,” go grab that 60% off before some other poor sap does. Bring your plus-one — or better yet, bring your therapist, because you’ll need emotional support after three days of “disruption.”

Once, I tried attending one of these so-called “networking events.” Fifteen minutes in, someone asked if I “believed in agile scalability.” I told them I believed in buggering off before I lost the will to live. Haven’t been invited back since. Best outcome ever.
