TechCrunch Disrupt by day. ☀️ Live poetry and aura photography by night. 🌙 We spent last week connecting with founders, customers, and friends — hosting Expert Sessions with Dwarkesh Patel, Chris Painter, Anarghya Vardhana, Helen Min, Ashley Mayer, and Immad Akhund, then winding down with an afterparty built for creativity and connection. Thanks to everyone who joined us throughout the week. Here’s to big ideas, small details, and the builders who bring them to life. ✨

This is the story of two startups who tried to map the world. 🌎 One got there first. The other got it right. In the 1990s, MapQuest brought digital directions to our desktops. A decade later, Google Maps turned that same idea into something we could hold in our hands — the pulsing blue dot we all know today. In the process, they changed more than how we travel. They changed how we see the world: shrinking it to a screen small enough to fit in our palms. Now, a new question emerges: can the maps of the future help us stay connected to where we are, not just show us where to go? ✍️ Written by Rhea Purohit. Full story on Meridian ⤵️

After nearly two decades and three startups, serial founder Immad Akhund built a $3.5B fintech juggernaut in Mercury. If you ask him why his previous companies never reached similar success, he’d point to the trap of the bullish founder. “If you're a strong founder, you can sell anything. You can get weak product-market fit out of almost any idea, and that's a problem,” he says. He tried the ship-and-iterate approach for his earlier startups. Two never found PMF, and one did only after lots of pivots. For Mercury, he took his time to fully bake the idea upfront — and it paid off. On The Review, he shares the lessons he wishes he could tell his twenty-something founder self brute-forcing his way to PMF, including: -The value of picking — and sticking with — the right idea -Why founders should prove they can do the hard part before building anything else -The merits of taking your time before launch -Culture lessons from a first-time scale-up CEO And much more.
