TechCrunch Disrupt is more than a stage for startups and innovation. It is where thousands of professionals meet, connect, and shape what is next, together. This year, HiHello is proud to return as the Official Networking Partner of TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, powering every introduction with modern tools that make networking seamless, memorable, and measurable.
As part of this partnership, every attendee receives three months of HiHello Professional or Business complimentary. That way, the connections you make in San Francisco can keep growing long after the event ends.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from activating your account to using HiHello’s most powerful features before, during, and after the event.
Step 1: Activate Your Complimentary HiHello Account
After registering for TechCrunch Disrupt, you will find a link in the attendee portal (under Networking) to activate your complimentary three-month HiHello subscription.
- Professional: Perfect for individuals such as founders, investors, and job seekers who want multiple cards, custom links, analytics, and file attachments.
- Business: Best for teams of 5 or more who want brand-approved cards, centralized control, CRM integrations, and team reporting.
Step 2: Build the Right Cards for Every Introduction
With HiHello, you can create multiple cards so you can tailor your introduction to every situation and every hat you wear. Your account is preloaded with template cards for Tech Crunch Disrupt that you can build off of or create your own. Be sure to showcase your product and services and use our unique features, such as video, PDF, and WhatsApp links, to make the most of your professional presence.
Enhance each card (and take advantage of Pro features) with custom links, colors, videos, PDFs, and file attachments to ensure every introduction is polished and complete.
Step 3: Share Seamlessly
At an event as busy as Disrupt, speed and reliability matter. HiHello makes it effortless to share your information in any environment.
- QR codes: Display a dynamic QR code for instant scanning, create a QR code widget for your lock or home screen.
- Wallet integration: Add your card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for quick access, or even create a complication on your smart watch.
- Offline sharing: Even if Wi-Fi or service gets spotty, your QR codes and wallet cards keep working.
No matter the moment, you will always be ready to connect.
Step 4: Use HiHello Events for Smarter Lead Retrieval
Ahead of the event, set up HiHello Events to ensure every introduction is captured, organized, and measurable.
- Event setup: Create a TCD25 Event in the app to give your Disrupt contacts a dedicated home. Learn how.
- Auto-tagging: Every scan and share is automatically tied to the event, so you always know where you met.
- Push notifications: Opt in to reminders and updates during Disrupt, and get a summary analytics report when the event is over.
- Analytics and reporting: Track engagement in real time and understand which cards, links, or teammates drive the most connections.
HiHello Events ensures making new connections isn’t just easy but measurable, helping you see the ROI of every introduction.
Step 5: Optimize Every Connection
In addition to Events, HiHello gives you tools to keep your growing network complete and actionable.
- Notes: Jot down details about each person to personalize follow-up and keep track of who is who.
- Universal scanner: Capture info from paper cards or badges so nothing slips through.
- Enrich contacts: When you make it back to the hotel at the end of the day, fill in missing details such as titles, companies, emails, and LinkedIn profiles to create CRM-ready records you can trust.
- Seamless CRM sync: With HiHello Business, sync enriched, tagged contacts directly with your CRM for faster, cleaner follow-up.
Step 6: Measure What Works and Follow Up Smarter
After the event, the real work begins. HiHello ensures you don’t just collect contacts but convert them into relationships.
- Email signatures: Set up a professional email signature inside HiHello to carry your presence into every follow-up message.
- Personalized follow-up: Use notes and tags to tailor your outreach.
- Virtual backgrounds: From your desktop, create a coordinating background so your content and context stay with you on follow-up video calls.
With HiHello, your follow-up is not only faster but also more effective.
