Your startup’s next teammate might be an AI agent: Gusto, Insight Partners, and Leland explain what that changes at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

At the 2026 TechCrunch Disrupt conference, a dedicated workshop will explore how early‑stage startups can integrate AI agents into their teams. Speakers from Gusto, Insight Partners, and Leland will discuss ways to blend human talent with AI agents to support operational tasks, accelerate workflows, and preserve accountability and organizational culture. The goal is to give founders a practical framework for adopting these technologies without sacrificing the agility that defines a startup or compromising team cohesion. Topics will include coordination challenges, clear role definition, and necessary oversight mechanisms to ensure effective collaboration between people and agents. The session is open to attendees who register before September 25, the deadline for a discount of up to $200 on registration fees.

This subject is timely because early adoption of AI agents can transform how startups scale, delivering competitive advantages in speed and efficiency while maintaining the core values that drive their growth.
