If you were wandering the Expo Hall at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, or watching our pitch stage earlier Tuesday, you might have noticed a familiar face from Pied Piper. Thomas Middleditch, who starred in HBO’s popular “Silicon Valley” show that prominently featured Disrupt back in 2014, had a planned takeover of Australian startup (and Battlefield 200 competitor) Othelia’s presentation at the pitch showcase stage.
You can take a look at his full rundown below, including the actual pitch for Othelia’s mission to build a Cursor-like platform for storytellers.
Middleditch, amid being pitched, photographed, and mildly swarmed at the Expo hall, also took some time to chat with us about his POV on the conference, AI, and how he uses AI platforms for his own Improv With Robots YouTube channel.
