In Case You Missed It: TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 Review

Welcome to our latest episode — a deep dive into TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, the global gathering where the next decade of innovation begins.

If you’re a founder, investor, or simply curious about how technology is reshaping the real world, this one’s for you. Disrupt isn’t just another conference — it’s where vision meets execution, and where new industries are quietly being built.

This year, the spotlight shifted from hype to hardware, from theory to traction. We’ll unpack the rise of Glīd, the logistics startup reinventing freight movement; Nephrogen, blending AI and gene therapy; and bold predictions from Zoom’s Eric Yuan, who believes AI could soon redefine the workweek itself.

We’ll also explore how the event’s new Going Public Stage revealed the real playbook for scaling — and why Asia’s innovators, from Taiwan to Japan, are finding their global footing right here in San Francisco.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand not only what happened at Disrupt, but why it matters to you — how these shifts in AI, logistics, biotech, and hardware signal where the next opportunities are emerging.

So grab your headphones, and join us as we decode the conversations shaping the future of startups, capital, and technology itself.
