TechCrunch All Stage, the highly anticipated summit dedicated to startup founders and venture capitalists, is set to convene over 1,200 attendees at Boston’s SoWa Power Station on July 15. The event aims to spark meaningful connections and provide practical insights for scaling startup businesses effectively.
A key highlight of the summit will be a breakout session led by Jahanvi Sardana, a noted partner at Index Ventures. Sardana will explore the nuances of assessing total addressable markets (TAM) through a comprehensive presentation that demonstrates how top startups don’t merely evaluate markets, but actively create and shape them.
During her session, Sardana will highlight real-world lessons drawn from successful case studies of rapidly growing companies, including Datadog, Adyen, Wiz, Shopify, and Airbnb. These examples reveal how innovative companies can recognize emerging industry trends, remove friction for users, and significantly expand their market opportunities far beyond initial expectations.
Attendees will benefit from an in-depth understanding of the core strategies that propelled these businesses to success, gaining knowledge which can directly influence strategic decisions and help develop startups poised to lead future industries.
Sardana brings extensive experience to the stage, particularly within the realms of enterprise software, fintech, and cybersecurity, fields in which she has actively invested from seed stage through pre-IPO rounds. Her approach centers around collaboration with founders distinguished by their grit—combining passion, perseverance, and resilience.
Before her current role at Index Ventures, Sardana worked with Stripes, a New York-based growth equity firm, focusing primarily on SaaS, fintech, and cybersecurity investments. Her career began at Aquiline Capital Partners, cultivating a foundation in private equity prior to her venture capital career.
TechCrunch All Stage promises to be an essential event for anyone involved in entrepreneurship and venture capital seeking practical strategies, actionable insights, and valuable networking opportunities.
