We’re excited to announce that Roelof Botha, managing partner of Sequoia Capital and one of the most influential voices in venture capital, will join us live onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, taking place October 27–29 at Moscone West in San Francisco.
For more than two decades, Botha has helped shape some of the world’s most iconic companies — and his perspective has never been more important.
Why this session matters
The venture ecosystem is in flux:
- Venture firms are evolving into broader investment powerhouses.
- Secondary markets are moving from the sidelines to the center stage.
- Founder–VC dynamics are shifting in an AI-driven era where startups scale faster — and require unprecedented capital to compete.
At Disrupt 2025, we’ll hear how Sequoia is navigating these changes: from deal flow and due diligence to the expectations for founders building in today’s highly concentrated, capital-intensive landscape.
And as TechCrunch celebrates its 20th anniversary, it feels only fitting to welcome back Botha, a longtime Disrupt voice and a central figure in the global startup community.
