You’re running out of time to join the Startup Battlefield 200, our curated showcase of top startups from around the world and across multiple industries. This elite cohort — 200 companies strong — absolutely owns (and slays) the exhibition floor at TechCrunch Disrupt.
Tomorrow is the last day to apply to Startup Battlefield 200
We’re accepting applications from early-stage startups until tomorrow, June 10 at 11:59 p.m. PDT. Founders, do you have what it takes? Investors, do you want to recommend one of your startups? Beat the deadline and submit your application here today!
Investor tip: Startup Battlefield 200 is a unique opportunity not just for founders ready for their big break, but also for investors eager to fund early-stage startups that earned the TechCrunch stamp of approval. Startup Battlefield alumni include more than 900 companies — such as Vurb, Dropbox, Mint, Yammer, and many more — with approximately 200 successful exits (IPOs or acquisitions) and a whopping $29 billion in funding raised.
Startup Battlefield 200: The premier global launchpad
In addition to the door-opening cachet that comes from being handpicked by TechCrunch, all SB 200 companies receive these perks, benefits and opportunities:
Full access to Disrupt: SB 200 founders attend Disrupt for free, receive four additional passes and VIP access to all the presentations, breakouts and roundtables.
Free exhibition space for the entire show: The SB 200 will be the only early-stage startups allowed to exhibit at Disrupt.
Investor interest and media exposure: Investors hunting for future unicorns and journalists looking for the next big story will beeline it to the exhibition floor to meet and greet the SB 200 founders.
Workshops and pitch training: SB 200 founders will be invited to exclusive workshops and master classes in the weeks running up to Disrupt, including special pitch training from TechCrunch staff.
Flash-pitch to an audience of investors and TC editors: That training will come in handy when you step onto the Pitch Showcase Stage. You’ll receive invaluable feedback, and you might find your way into an investor’s portfolio.
A shot at $100,000: TechCrunch editors will select 20 startups from the SB 200 to be Startup Battlefield finalists. Founders from those 20 companies will receive private pitch coaching, be featured in an article on TechCrunch and pitch live onstage in front of the entire Disrupt audience. The ultimate winner takes home the $100,000 equity-free prize.
Do you have what it takes? You only have until tomorrow, June 10 at 11:59 p.m. PDT to prove it. Apply to the Startup Battlefield 200 right now. We’d love to see you in San Francisco!
