Masters of Scale Summit 2026 took place October 20–22, 2026.
Masters of Scale Summit 2026 was held at The Presidio Theatre, 99 Moraga Ave, San Francisco, California 94129.
Attendees were listed as including entrepreneurs and executives of fast-scaling companies, investors, journalists, authors, advisors, and nonprofit and culture leaders.
Represented organizations were listed as including unicorn companies, fast-scaling startups, public companies, investment firms, nonprofits, and cultural organizations. Listed roles included entrepreneurs, executives, investors, journalists, authors, advisors, and nonprofit and culture leaders.
It was most useful for founders, CEOs and investors of fast-scaling companies who wanted access to a selected peer group, since attendance was by application, limited to 800 attendees, and the audience was billed as including 20% unicorn executives and 20% investors and board members. The speaker list, with Reid Hoffman, Reed Hastings and Matthew Prince, was billed as strong founder-level content; early-stage founders without a scaling company, or people looking for tactical workshops, were less likely to be accepted or to benefit.
Founders and investors at San Francisco tech summits usually wear smart casual, such as jeans or chinos with a blazer or good sweater, rather than suits. Comfortable shoes and a layer suited a theatre venue in the Presidio in October.
