The Startup Battlefield 200 helps connect entrepreneurs to venture capitalists and funding in today’s challenging environment, and has launched companies such as Dropbox, Mint, Cloudflare, Fitbit, Yammer and more.

Startup Battlefield 200

The tech ecosystem has grown exponentially in size and possibility since the early days of Startup Battlefield. This year, the highly anticipated startup competition is expanding its presence by introducing Startup Battlefield 200, a new era of the exciting startup community competition that helps to launch some of the most promising, imaginative startups in tech.

Out of thousands of applicants, a curated cohort of 200 startups has been selected to flash-pitch their companies in front of investors and TechCrunch editors. Of those 200, only 20 companies will be selected as Startup Battlefield Finalists. They’ll pitch their ideas on the Disrupt main stage in front of the entire Disrupt audience, receive private pitch coaching and be featured on TechCrunch. The winner takes home a $100,000 no-equity cash prize and all the glory. All selected founders will receive full access to the show, exclusive workshops, training, perks and free exhibition space on the show floor for all three days.

This year’s Startup Battlefield Judges include Partner at Base10, Jamison Hill; CEO and Managing Partner at The Engine, Katie Rae; Managing Partner at Kindred Ventures, Kanyi Maqubela; Managing Director at Kapor Capital, Uriridiakoghene “Ulili” Onovakpuri; Founder and Managing Partner at Stellation Capital, Peter A. Boyce II; Co-founder and Managing Partner at BBG Ventures, Nisha Dua; Co-founder and Managing Partner at Tusk Venture Partners, Jordan Nof; Co-founder and CEO at Future Ventures, Maryanna Saenko; Partner at Accel, Rich Wong; Co-founder and Managing Partner at Flourish Ventures, Emmalyn Shaw; Co-founder and Managing Partner at Pear VC, Mar Hershenson; Founder & Managing Partner at Cowboy Ventures, Aileen Lee; Managing Partner at BoxGroup, David Tisch and more to be announced at a later date.

“This year’s economic volatility has created a challenging funding environment for tech startups,” commented Joey Hinson, General Manager of TechCrunch. “As the market continues to behave unpredictably, entrepreneurs are looking to experts for help navigating the current climate. Disrupt will provide attendees with opportunities to learn from best-in-class VCs, thought leaders, serial entrepreneurs and more to build lasting industry connections and equip them with knowledge for their next chapter.”
