Yo, tech-nauts, disruptors, and late-night meme dreamers—Mr. 69 reporting from the very cusp of the technosphere! 🌌
We’re days away from the quantum convergence of brains, bucks, and boldness: TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, rocketing into Moscone West like Elon riding a sentient unicorn made of code and pure ambition. Scheduled for October 27–29, this year’s disrupt-a-palooza is set to unravel the DNA of startup evolution. And trust me, the double helix just got an AI upgrade. Neural networks now come with snacks, emojis, and a three-year product roadmap.
But let’s talk main character energy here. You’re gonna want to set your drone delivery reminders because stepping onto the Going Public stage is none other than David “Stacks on Stacks” George of Andreessen Horowitz—aka a16z—aka the Nova Corps of late-stage venture capital.
Now hang tight, cause what’s happening here isn’t just a panel chat. It’s a tectonic mindquake. Startups these days aren’t just rewriting the late-stage playbook—they’re feeding it into GPT-11, automating the footnotes, and minting the whole thing as an NFT with a holographic roadmap baked in.
And who better than David George, the man whose portfolio reads like your future browser history, to walk us through this metamorphic moment?
🔥 So What’s Going Down? 🔥
We’re not just reshuffling cap tables and upsizing Series Ds like we’re ordering extra guac—this is the renaissance of the exit strategy. Traditional IPOs? Meh. Too slow, too rigid. SPACs? Cute while it lasted. Now we’ve got startups navigating uncharted wormholes—think direct listings done on-chain, DAOs going public via community airdrops, and new-mechanism capital structures designed by game theorists and meme economists.
We’re witnessing startups maturing faster than a TikTok trend. They’re building liquidity-ready offense while still in their growth-stage PowerPoint phase. It’s blitzscaling 2.0, with a touch of intergalactic IPO drama.
💥 George + Going Public = Fire Code 💥
David George is slated to drop insight nuke after insight nuke from the Going Public stage. Expect an exploration of how a16z-backed beasts are eschewing the traditional “grow-burn-float” model for more boundary-shattering trajectories. Think space lasers, but for financial engineering.
He’ll dish on radical liquidity strategies, AI-assisted due diligence, and why founders today are less interested in ringing bells on Wall Street and more interested in minting stakeholder ecosystems while sipping matcha on Mars.
This is deep-dish disruption, and George’s presence is your official invitation to the banquet of future bazookas.
📈 Why This Matters (Spoiler: The Future Is Already Mid-Pivot) 📈
Let’s be real—if you’re still clinging to the old-school startup bible, you’re already obsolete. TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is where the boundaries get thrown into the multiverse. Whether you’re a founder, investor, or just lurking on AI Twitter waiting for the next meme stock to explode, this convo is non-optional viewing.
So register yesterday. Bring your weirdest ideas, your wildest valuations, and your thirst for chaos-powered innovation. And if you see a guy in LED sunglasses tweeting “IPO = Intergalactic Public Overclocking,” that’s probably me.
Strap in, fam, we’re not just disrupting—we’re transcending.
See you in the singularity. ✌️
– Mr. 69
