TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 final lineup features Wahlberg, Hodak, Benchmark
TechCrunch has released the full speaker lineup for Disrupt 2026, which opens next week at San Francisco’s Moscone West. The three-day event will feature actor-turned-investor Mark Wahlberg, neurotechnology entrepreneur Max Hodak, and Benchmark partners, alongside previously announced Startup Battlefield judges and OpenAI researcher Alexander Embiricos.
The roster includes figures from different corners of the tech and investment worlds. Hodak’s work in neurotechnology and Wahlberg’s recent activity in startups could bring varied perspectives to the stage. Benchmark’s presence continues the firm’s tradition of engaging with the startup ecosystem.
Disrupt’s ticket push remains in effect, with organizers offering discounts for late registrations ahead of the October 13 opening. Startup Battlefield finalists will pitch on the main stage for a cash prize and the Disrupt Cup, with judges including early-stage investors and corporate development executives.
The lineup suggests a range of topics may be covered, from emerging technologies to investment trends. Embiricos’ appearance, coming shortly after the launch of an AI product, could also draw attention to recent developments in the field.
