Hardware Startups: Join Us At TechCrunch Disrupt In San Francisco

Disrupt has long been the birthplace of software startups – but that’s changing. With the launch of Hardware Alley at Disrupt NY, we’ve inaugurated a very cool opportunity for hardware startups to grab a little Disrupt floor space and we’re doing it again in San Francisco.

Hardware Alley happens on the last day of Disrupt and lets you get into the event at a discounted rate for one or all three days. Smaller startups should contact me directly at john@beta.techcrunch.com but if you’re funded, ready to rock, and interested in holding court with some of SF’s preeminent VCs and thinkers, head over here to buy tickets.

Here’s the fine print and we hope to see you there.

For the final day of TechCrunch Disrupt SF on Wednesday Sept 12th 2012, we are inviting cool hardware startups to come and demo their wares as part of Hardware Alley.
This is for early stage hardware companies. Your product needs to be near production or in production for the last 6 months. Companies that do not meet this criteria will need to be reviewed.TechCrunch will provide a 24″ round cocktail height table, linens, signage, 3 amps of power and wifi internet connectivity to Hardware Alley companies.

Hardware Alley attendees set up at 7:30AM on Wednesday Sept 12th

There are two ticketing package options which include 2 tkts. You can either purchase
a) Wednesday Sept 12th: 1 day demo & attend for $995 (2 tkts) or
b) Sept 10-12: 3 day attend & 1 day demo on Wed Sept 12 for $1,995 (2 tkts).
