TechCrunch recruits volunteers for Founder Summit in Boston on November 4

TechCrunch is seeking volunteers for its rebranded Founder Summit in Boston on November 4, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how major tech events are produced.

The event, formerly known as All Stage, is part of TechCrunch’s effort to refine its conference series to better serve startup founders, investors, and industry leaders. Boston’s growing reputation as a hub for biotech, AI, and deep-tech startups makes it a natural fit for a summit focused on early-stage innovation and networking. The rebranding reflects a shift toward more targeted programming for founders, rather than a broader audience.

Volunteers will assist with logistics, registration, and event operations, gaining direct experience in large-scale event management. In exchange, they’ll receive access to parts of the summit, networking opportunities, and a chance to connect with TechCrunch’s editorial and production teams. Past volunteers have used the experience to break into tech, event planning, or media careers. Applications are open now, with selections expected in the coming weeks.

The summit comes at a pivotal time for Boston’s tech scene, which has seen increased venture capital activity and a surge in AI and life sciences startups. For volunteers, it’s a chance to engage with the ecosystem while contributing to one of the industry’s most visible stages.
