What Is TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 200?
Startup Battlefield 200 is TechCrunch's selective launch, showcase and pitch program for early-stage companies worldwide. Applicants generally need a functional minimum viable product, an authentic product demo and a strong founder story; TechCrunch primarily targets bootstrapped, pre-seed and seed companies, with some case-by-case Series A consideration. There is no founder age limit, application fee or equity requirement.
The 2026 application deadline was extended to June 8 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific and is now closed. Applicants are due decisions in late August. Selected companies receive virtual masterclasses and pitch preparation, a free three-day exhibit table and four complimentary passes for TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco October 13-15. All 200 pitch at the event; 20 receive a six-minute Main Stage pitch and live Q&A, five advance to the final round, and one wins $100,000 equity-free plus the Disrupt Cup. Travel and lodging are not stated as included.
