No product? No problem. This Disrupt 2026 session shows how to get pre-seed funding with conviction, storytelling

Summary

TechCrunch is highlighting a Disrupt 2026 session focused on how pre-seed founders can raise money with conviction and storytelling even before a product exists.

Why it matters

The pre-seed market is being judged against seed-stage expectations, so narrative quality, founder credibility, and a crisp wedge matter more than ever.

Founder/operator read

If you're early, your pitch has to explain why now, why you, and why this problem before you can lean on usage data. Story is not a substitute for execution, but it can buy the time needed to prove execution.
