Daily tech — startups, AI labs, chips, the launches that shape the next decade. Free.
- Startup Battlefield 200 deadline is Friday, May 27, after which applications close.
- Selected startups receive $100,000 in equity‑free funding and a fully funded three‑day exhibition booth at TechCrunch Disrupt.
- All 200 companies will pitch live on either the Disrupt Stage or the Pitch Showcase Stage before 10,000+ attendees, VCs and media.
- Founders get pitch training, masterclasses with world‑class VCs, free team passes, and TechCrunch editorial coverage.
- The competition welcomes early‑stage, pre‑launch startups with no revenue, focusing on “meaningful” impact rather than polish.
Why it matters: Founders of early‑stage startups gain a $100k equity‑free grant and direct VC exposure before the 10,000‑plus‑person Disrupt audience, accelerating fundraising and market visibility; competing startups risk missing the chance as the May 27 deadline looms.
