If you're a founder at the beginning of your journey, pay attention. The Builders Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 will bring together an elite panel of experienced investors to discuss where their firms are allocating capital for 2026 and the years to follow.
Meet our panelists

- Viviana Faga, general partner at Felicis — leverages 20 years of experience growing SaaS businesses, developing new categories, and crafting powerful brands.
These highly regarded VCs will share which industries and emerging technologies are grabbing their focus — spanning AI, data, robotics, and cloud — and give their take on where the most strategic investments are heading in the coming year. For founders, it’s a unique chance to hear firsthand how the next investment trends are being determined.
