What comes after Twitter and Meta? The founders of 01A share their playbook at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025

TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is set to take place at Moscone West in San Francisco from October 27 to 29, featuring prominent figures in the tech industry on the Builders Stage. On October 28, attendees can look forward to an exclusive fireside chat with three influential leaders who have significantly impacted the digital landscape: Adam Bain, Dick Costolo, and David Fischer. Currently at the helm of 01 Advisors, a venture firm investing in emerging companies like Tipalti and SpotOn, these three have a rich history of steering some of the most recognized names in technology. Adam Bain, the former Chief Operating Officer of Twitter, played a critical role in evolving the platform from a fledgling social network into a thriving business, building its sales and ad operations teams from scratch and catapulting revenue from millions to billions within five years. Dick Costolo, who served as Twitter’s CEO, oversaw the company's explosive growth, increasing its workforce by over 400% and driving annual revenue from $28 million to $2.25 billion. His entrepreneurial journey began with founding FeedBurner, a pioneering content distribution service that was later acquired by Google. Meanwhile, David Fischer, the former Chief Revenue Officer at Meta, was instrumental in developing the company’s global advertising strategy. Over his tenure, he scaled annual revenue from less than $1 billion to over $100 billion, aiding more than 200 million businesses in reaching their target audiences worldwide. Fischer’s career also includes a foundational role in Google’s early sales initiatives and a stint at the U.S. Treasury Department. This discussion promises to delve into not just their past successes, but also their visions for the future of technology. Attendees can expect practical insights on achieving product-market fit, intentional scaling, and effective team-building, alongside their criteria for supporting founders through 01 Advisors.
