TechCrunch Disrupt NY<\/a> is around the corner, and with it we\u2019re introducing a brand new content type for the main stage.<\/p>\n You\u2019re probably familiar with our fireside chats \u2014 last year we spoke one-on-one with USV\u2019s Fred Wilson, Uber\u2019s David Plouffe, Facebook\u2019s Stan Chudnovsky, Soledad O\u2019Brien, Carmelo Anthony and Jessica Alba. We also host panels, like Disrupt NY 2016\u2019s panel on startup studios with John Borthwick, Heather Hartnett and Naveen Selvadurai, or our dating panel with Dawoon Kang, Whitney Wolfe, and Robyn Exton.<\/p>\n And then, of course, there\u2019s the Startup Battlefield, where brand new companies launch brand new products on the Disrupt stage, making their foray into the big beautiful startup world.<\/p>\n But we\u2019re missing something.<\/p>\n There are dozens of proven, growing startups that have remained on the fringe, whether because they\u2019re purposefully stealthy or because they\u2019re kicking ass in a peripheral industry like real estate or insurance.<\/p>\n We want to give these startups time on our stage to tell us about the human element of starting and running a startup.<\/p>\n Each Startup Spotlight will begin with a video, explaining to the audience the problem, the solution, and how the product is unique and effective. From there, we\u2019ll sit down one-on-one with the founder to talk about how they got from point A to point B.<\/p>\n We want to know about the emotional side of leaving your old life and starting a brand new one as the leader of a scrappy little company, and the journey from the day the idea was born to now.<\/p>\n We\u2019re super excited about this new format that highlights up-and-coming startups, and we\u2019re sure you\u2019re going to love it.<\/p>\n But if you want to get in on the action, you have to pick up tickets. You can get those right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n See you in New York!<\/p>\n Sponsors make TechCrunch events possible.
