Astro Teller, Mastermind Behind Google X’s Moonshot Projects, to Speak at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025
Preparations are underway for an exhilarating Tech Disrupt event scheduled for October 27-29, at Moscone West in San Francisco. We are delighted to reveal that Astro Teller, the esteemed head of Alphabet’s X (also known as the Moonshot Factory), will grace the stage during this highly anticipated conference.
For over a decade, Teller has steered X’s ambitious endeavor aimed at solving the globe’s most formidable challenges. His leadership has resulted in groundbreaking projects such as Waymo (autonomous vehicles), Wing (delivery drones), and Loon (internet-providing balloons). Although not every moonshot succeeds, Teller advocates for embracing failures swiftly because they pave the way for transformative advancements that alter everything.
Beyond his role at the Moonshot Factory, Teller is a prolific novelist, entrepreneur, investor, and scholar (boasting degrees from Stanford and Carnegie Mellon). His diverse professional background offers him an unparalleled perspective on innovation’s future—an outlook that entrepreneurs, investors, and students cannot afford to overlook.
With artificial intelligence increasingly merging science fiction with reality, Teller’s insights on how to think expansively, fail intelligently, and construct for impact have never been more pertinent. This is an opportunity to learn directly from one of the boldest minds in technology.
