Unleash Startup Mastery: Chef Robotics, NEA & ICONIQ at Disrupt 2025
Finding product‑market fit isn’t a milestone — it’s a messy, make‑or‑break journey
Think of product‑market fit (PMF) like a chaotic love affair: you know it matters, but the path to it is stormy, sticky, and full of surprises. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, a seasoned founder and two savvy investors will walk you through this wild ride so you can finally hit that sweet spot.
Meet the crew on the Builders Stage
- Rajat Bhageria – Founder & CEO of Chef Robotics, who’s survived the startup furnace and emerged with lessons to share.
- Ann Bordetsky – Partner at NEA, a laser‑focused mentor who’s helped teams slip past the “just good enough” plateau.
- Murali Joshi – Partner at ICONIQ, a growth guru who knows how to skyrocket small ideas into real‑world success.
What they’ll unpack
- Smart testing strategies – Gone are the days of random trial and error. Learn how to design experiments that give you clear, actionable data.
- Real‑time iteration – Speed matters. Discover techniques for turning insights into releases without losing momentum.
- Listening without losing out in the noise – Users talk a lot, but their words can get lost in the chatter. Learn to parse the real signals from the fluff.
Why you can’t afford to miss this conversation
Not only will you walk away with a playbook for PMF, but there’s a chance to save up to $675 on your ticket. Prices rise after tomorrow, August 6 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Grab your seat in advance and keep that startup engine humming.
Join the conversation that’s as honest as it is cool—because in the startup world, messiness is just the precursor to incredible growth.
