Runway co-founder Alejandro Matamala Ortiz takes the AI stage at Disrupt 2025


TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is the epicenter where 10,000+ startup and VC leaders gather to explore the future of innovation — and this year, both of the AI Stages bring the intersection of design and machine learning into sharp focus.

We’re thrilled to welcome Alejandro Matamala Ortiz, co-founder and chief design officer at Runway, to one of the AI Stages at Disrupt 2025, taking place October 27–29 in San Francisco. As part of a can’t-miss panel conversation, Ortiz will share how design principles are guiding the next generation of generative AI tools — and how his team at Runway is redefining what creativity looks like in the age of machines.
