TechCrunch (TC) Disrupt draws thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders each year. As the official housing bureau for nearly a decade, 38 North Connections manages citywide sourcing, convention center contracting, and multi-property room block operations that support TC Disrupt’s fast-moving ecosystem.

Project Overview

TC Disrupt is a hub of global innovation - high-stakes platform where early-stage founders pitch to top investors, where companies like i6, IntrCity SmartBus, Navan, and Pavewise have gone on to secure major funding rounds, and where giants such as Google, Microsoft, Netflix, AWS, Stripe, etc. regularly take the stage.
With a decade-long partnership, 38NC ensures their housing program meets the needs of a diverse, fast-moving audience while managing large-scale demand across the city.

The Challenge

A program of this scale requires a housing model built for velocity and volatility. Many attendees are early-stage founders on tight budgets, and they often book last-minute, which puts pressure on room availability, pricing, and cut-off timelines.

This demands:

  • Room blocks aligned to attendee needs around distance and price
  • Ongoing attention to attrition and cut-off management
  • Flexibility to accommodate late bookings
  • Coordination across multiple hotel partners
  • Consistent support as attendees update their travel plans
