Astro Teller, Visionary Behind Google X’s Moonshot Projects, to Speak at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025

The upcoming Disrupt event in October, scheduled for the 27th-29th at Moscone West in San Francisco, promises an extraordinary level of intrigue. We are delighted to reveal that Astro Teller, the visionary leader of Alphabet’s X (also known as the Moonshot Factory), will be gracing our stage during this esteemed event.

Over the past decade, Teller has spearheaded X’s relentless pursuit to address some of the world’s most daunting challenges. Under his guidance, X has conceived groundbreaking projects such as Waymo (self-driving cars), Wing (delivery drones), and Loon (internet-beaming balloons). Not every project succeeds, but that’s precisely the essence of Teller’s philosophy – failure should be embraced swiftly as it paves the way for the transformative innovations that alter our world.

Beyond his role at the Moonshot Factory, Teller is an accomplished novelist, entrepreneur, investor, and academic, having earned degrees from Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. His multifaceted career offers a singular perspective on the future of innovation – one that entrepreneurs, investors, and students cannot afford to overlook.

As AI continues to blur the boundary between science fiction and reality, Teller’s insights into thinking ambitiously, failing intelligently, and building with impact could not be more relevant. This is an unparalleled opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge from one of the most visionary minds in technology.
