TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is set to become even more compelling with the addition of Astro Teller, the head of Alphabet’s X, also known as the Moonshot Factory. Teller will be a featured speaker at the event, scheduled for October 27–29 at Moscone West in San Francisco.
For over a decade, Teller has led X’s ambitious mission to address some of the world’s most challenging problems. Under his guidance, X has developed groundbreaking projects such as Waymo (self-driving cars), Wing (delivery drones), and Loon (internet-beaming balloons). Teller advocates for embracing failure swiftly, as it paves the way for transformative breakthroughs.

He holds degrees from Stanford and Carnegie Mellon, providing him with a unique perspective on the future of innovation. His insights are invaluable for founders, investors, and students aiming to make a significant impact in the tech industry.
As artificial intelligence continues to blur the lines between science fiction and reality, Teller’s perspectives on thinking expansively, learning from failure, and building impactful solutions are particularly timely.
