The tech ecosystem has grown exponentially in size and possibility since the early days of Startup Battlefield and we're growing along with it. That's why we're proud to announce TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 200, a new era of our exciting startup community competition. The Startup Battlefield 200 is a curated cohort of 200 startups that will exhibit at TechCrunch Disrupt this October. The competition will be fierce. If selected out of the thousands of applications, startups will receive full access to the show, exclusive workshops, training, perks and free exhibition space on the show floor for all three days. All selected founders will also get the opportunity to flash-pitch in front of investors and TechCrunch editors in the expo. Out of the Startup Battlefield 200, 20 companies will be selected as Startup Battlefield Finalists. As always, the Finalists will pitch on the Disrupt Stage in front of the entire TechCrunch audience, receive private pitch coaching and be featured on TechCrunch.com. The winner snags the $100,000 prize and all the glory. |
