“Silicon Valley” star Thomas Middleditch made a surprise appearance at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025

If you are walking around the exhibition hall TechCrunch disabled 2025or while watching our presentation earlier on Tuesday, you may have noticed a familiar face from Pied Piper. Thomas Middleditch, who starred in the popular HBO show “Silicon Valley” and featured the 2014 film “Disrupt,” was planning to acquire an Australian startup (and Battlefield 200 competitor) Othelia Presentation at the pitch stage.

You can take a look at its full synopsis below, including the actual demo of Othelia’s mission to build a cursor-like platform for storytellers.

Middleditch, amidst being mobbed, photographed, and mildly protested in the exhibition hall, also took some time to chat with us about his perspective on the conference, AI, and how he uses AI platforms for his own purposes. Optimize with YouTube channel bots.
