At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, scheduled for October 27-29 at San Francisco’s Moscone West, a compelling session titled "Creating Communities and Companies That Last" will take center stage. This engaging discussion features Jason Citron, the founder and former CEO of Discord, alongside Tade Oyerinde, the visionary founder and CEO of Campus and Campuswire. The duo will delve into the importance of designing for people rather than institutions, emphasizing that true innovation stems from building movements rather than mere products. Jason Citron returns to the Disrupt stage, a venue that marked a significant milestone for Discord back in 2013 during the Startup Battlefield 200 program. Since then, Discord has transformed into a global communications platform with hundreds of millions of users, fundamentally altering how individuals connect and interact online. Citron, whose previous endeavor was OpenFeint, has consistently demonstrated expertise in creating platforms that prioritize authentic connections. On the other hand, Tade Oyerinde is at the forefront of revolutionizing higher education. With a strong foundation in aerospace engineering and a decade of experience in educational technology, he is dedicated to reconstructing the college experience. Acknowledged by Forbes as one of the leading education entrepreneurs in the nation, Oyerinde is pioneering environments where technology enhances human-centered learning. In today’s fast-paced market, companies that emphasize community are more likely to endure.
