Jon McNeill brings the operator's playbook to TechCrunch All Stage
Founders are often told to chase product-market fit before anything else, but what if scaling too soon, too fast, is what's really holding them back? At TechCrunch All Stage 2025 on July 15 in Boston, Jon McNeill, CEO and co-founder of DVx Ventures (and former president of Tesla and COO of Lyft), will take the Scale Stage to flip the script on conventional startup growth advice. His session, 'The Operator's Playbook for Building and Scaling Sustainable Companies,' explores why the next generation of enduring companies will be built differently — by operators who validate both product and go-to-market strategy before lighting the growth fuse. With a career that spans founding six companies, scaling Tesla from $2B to $20B in revenue, and helping take Lyft public, McNeill knows the difference between momentum and sustainable growth. At DVx, he and his team have already launched 12 companies with a focus on profitability, impact, and long-term value, not just speed. In this session, McNeill will share tactical insights from building and backing companies in electrification, transportation, and AI. Attendees can expect hard-won lessons around capital efficiency, operating discipline, and how to break the traditional VC mold by building businesses that last. If you're a founder navigating hypergrowth or an investor looking for new models that prioritize long-term impact, this session delivers a grounded, operator-first roadmap. On July 15, TechCrunch All Stage takes over Boston's SoWa Power Station. It's the founder summit built for scaling, packed with tactical takeaways, real conversations, and connections with investors and builders at every stage.

What to expect at TechCrunch All Stage: One day, countless connections and takeaways
Whether you're a founder gearing up for your next raise or a VC scouting your next portfolio win, TechCrunch All Stage, happening July 15 at Boston's SoWa Power Station, packs more into one day than most multi-day conferences manage to deliver. This isn't your typical sit-and-listen event. It's designed to help you build momentum in real time — whether that means raising capital, sharpening your pitch, expanding your network, or rethinking your go-to-market. And for a limited time, tickets are available for a $210 discount right here. No matter your stage — from first check to pre-IPO — TechCrunch All Stage delivers tactical insight, high-value access, and plenty of sharp elbows (in a good way). You'll hear from operators like Charles Hudson, founder and managing partner of Precursor Ventures, on what VCs really look for in a pre-seed company. And Jon McNeill, the former president of Tesla and COO of Lyft, who has shifted to DVx Ventures, will talk all about the finer points of GTM strategy. Plus, you'll hear from partners from some of the biggest venture firms in the world, like Index Ventures, NEA, and Capital G. Sessions will dig into the real stuff: what it takes to raise in this market, how to balance brand vs. growth, and why 'AI strategy' might be missing the point. This isn't theory — it's what's working on the ground, right now. Check the full agenda for speaker sessions that meet you where you are — and stretch your thinking beyond it. All day long, the energy stays high — and so does the access. You'll find breakout sessions and interactive roundtables happening throughout the venue, built for candid conversations on scaling, hiring, AI implementation, GTM strategies, and everything in between. These aren't one-way panels — they're meant to bring voices offstage and into the mix, and each will feature a Q&A session so you can get the answers you need most. Midday, catch the high-octane 'So You Think You Can Pitch?' event — where founders take the mic and pitch live, in front of judges who don't sugarcoat their feedback. It's fast, unpredictable, and full of startup edge. The event spills out into Boston. Side Events take over the city with founder dinners, investor happy hours, and curated meetups hosted by some of the biggest names in tech and VC. These aren't just wind-down moments — they're relationship accelerators. If you're building, investing, or trying to find your next edge in tech, TechCrunch All Stage is where you want to be. And if you act now, you can still lock in early-bird pricing — but only through June 22. Save up to $210 on your ticket before prices jump. Check out ticket options and packages here. .
