Disrupt will be available globally, spanning five days — September 14-18 — which means more opportunity. Founders. This. Is. Your. Shot. Startup Battlefield applications are open for just a few more weeks. Get your application in before it's too late!
Startup Battlefield works much like last year's, but with a few twists and added benefits. Here's how it works:
Apply. You're eligible — no matter where you are around the world — if your company meets these criteria: it's early-stage; you have an MVP that includes a tech component (software, hardware or platform); your company has not received much, if any, major media coverage.
Prepare for battle. All competing teams go through a free weeks-long training with the TechCrunch team. That coaching will whip your pitch into fighting trim, cut the fat from your business models, sharpen your presentation skills and fine-tune your demo.
Compete. When game day arrives, each team presents a six-minute pitch to a bevy of judges consisting of top VCs and technologists. An intense Q&A follows each presentation, but with all that coaching under your belt you won't break a sweat.
Network and grow your business. Although only one startup wins the cash, all Startup Battlefield competitors gain invaluable exposure to investors, media and potential customers — and they join the Startup Battlefield Alumni community. That impressive cohort has collectively raised $9 billion and generated 115 exits.
Startup Battlefield competitors also get to
exhibit in Digital Startup Alley and enjoy these added benefits:
Leading Voices Webinars: Top industry minds will share their thoughts and strategies on adapting and thriving during and after this pandemic. Startup Alley exhibitors get exclusive access to this webinar series.
