When you design for people instead of institutions, you don\u2019t just build a product. You build a movement. That\u2019s the idea behind this live Builders Stage session<\/a><\/strong> called \u201cCreating Communities and Companies That Last,\u201d only at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025<\/strong><\/a> on October 27-29 at San Francisco\u2019s Moscone West.<\/p>\n This fireside chat<\/strong><\/a> brings together Jason Citron<\/a><\/strong>, founder and former CEO of Discord, and Tade Oyerinde<\/a><\/strong>, founder, CEO, and chancellor of Campus and Campuswire, for a conversation about building long-term value through community-first design.<\/p>\n Lock in your Disrupt pass<\/a><\/strong> now to learn how to scale smarter and stronger, and save up to $668.<\/p>\n Jason Citron returns to Disrupt, the same stage where Discord<\/a> made its big break in the Startup Battlefield 200 program back in 2013. Since then, Discord has grown into a global platform with hundreds of millions of users, reshaping how people connect and communicate online. Citron, who also founded OpenFeint<\/a>, is no stranger to building connection-first platforms that scale with authenticity.<\/p>\n Tade Oyerinde, the force behind Campus<\/a> and Campuswire<\/a>, is reimagining the future of higher education.
