Startup Battlefield 200: the main global launch pad
In addition to the door-opening seal that comes with being carefully selected by TechCrunch, all SB 200 companies receive these benefits, advantages and opportunities:
Full access to Disrupt: SB 200 founders attend Disrupt for free, receive four additional passes, and VIP access to all keynotes, breakout groups, and panel discussions.
Free exhibition space for the entire exhibition: SB 200 will be the only early-stage startup that will be allowed to exhibit at Disrupt.
Investor interest and media exposure: Investors looking for future unicorns and journalists looking for the next big story will head straight to the show floor to meet and greet the SB 200 founders.
Workshops and pitch training: SB 200 founders will be invited to exclusive workshops and masterclasses in the weeks leading up to Disrupt, including special training from TechCrunch staff.
Quick release to an audience of TC investors and editors: That training will come in handy when you step onto the Pitch Showcase stage. You’ll receive invaluable feedback and may find your way into an investor’s portfolio.
A chance to win $100,000: TechCrunch editors will select 20 startups from the SB 200 to be Startup Battlefield finalists. The founders of those 20 companies will receive private pitch training, be featured in an article on TechCrunch, and present live on stage in front of the entire Disrupt audience. The ultimate winner takes home the $100,000 equity-free prize.
