Daniel LurieThe man who campaigned to revive the city’s economy and restore its global reputation is not just happy-go-lucky; Their presence underscores the long-standing disconnect between City Hall and the startup community, which is currently experiencing an AI-driven renaissance as the city grapples with the shock of the pandemic. Empty city offices and growing skepticism about the impact of technology have strained the relationship, but the AI boom has brought new energy – and investment – back to the city.
By attending Disrupt 2025, Lurie is making a statement: San Francisco is not retreating from its role as a capital of innovation. It is doubling.
For TechCrunch, hosting Mayer is no mere spectacle. This marks a significant moment as Disrupt is one of the few gatherings where over 10,000 builders, heavyweight VCs and now civic leaders across all stages come together under one roof. If Lurie wants a blueprint for the city’s revitalization, he’ll find it in these halls: idle founders, hungry investors, and the enduring belief that San Francisco’s best inventions haven’t been built yet.
