TechCrunch Founder Summit arrives in Boston on November 4, bringing the publication's founder-focused event series to the East Coast with two days to go before doors open.

The pitch is squarely aimed at builders outside the Bay Area bubble: TechCrunch is framing the event around the argument that Boston founders don't need a Silicon Valley address to build something big. The agenda is built for founders specifically — rather than the broader investor-and-enterprise mix of larger conferences — with an emphasis on practical programming and high-value connections.

On pricing, attendees can currently save up to $100 on passes, with additional discounts available for groups buying together.

Boston remains one of the strongest startup ecosystems in the country on the strength of its university pipeline — MIT and Harvard chief among them — plus deep benches in biotech, robotics, and enterprise software. A founder-centric event in that market gives TechCrunch a way to tap communities that rarely make the trip west for its flagship Disrupt conference, and gives local founders a concentrated dose of the networking that usually requires a cross-country flight.
