May 27 is the final deadline to apply or nominate for Startup Battlefield 200, TechCrunch’s startup competition for early-stage companies.
200 selected startups will pitch at Disrupt before 10,000-plus attendees, investors and media, with every winner receiving exhibition space, team passes, pitch training and exposure to VCs.
20 finalists will pitch live on the main Disrupt Stage, and one startup will win $100,000 in equity-free funding; most selected companies are pre-Series A, though some Series A firms may qualify.
More than 1,700 Battlefield alumni have raised over $32 billion and produced 250-plus exits, including companies later acquired by Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, Uber and Amazon.
Do pitch competitions find the best companies, or just the founders who are the best storytellers?
