What happened
TechCrunch's Founder Summit 2026 opens today at 9:00 a.m. ET at SoWa Power Station in Boston, with registration and Expo Hall running 9:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. ET, Braindate networking 9:30–4:30, and breakout sessions from 10:00 a.m. The only concrete 'change' is pricing: discounts end at 9 a.m. ET, with savings of up to $100 and a second pass free if you register before doors open. Named speakers include Steve Fredette (Toast), though the excerpt cuts off mid-list.
Why it matters
This is a ticket-sales post, not news — nothing here changes how you build or ship. The only actionable item is a deadline: if you already wanted to attend in Boston, the discount (up to $100 off, plus a second free pass) expires at 9 a.m. ET today; otherwise there is no decision to make from this text.
Discussion angle
Worth a 30-second mention at most: are any community members going to Boston, and is there a cheaper regional alternative (local meetups or SEA-focused founder events) that gives the same investor access without the US travel cost?
