Participants in the Startup Battlefield compete for $50K and the illustrious Disrupt Cup. But the real reason to participate is the exposure and connections you make throughout the event.
In the Battlefield, your startup will pitch on-stage at Disrupt in front of judges who represent the top VCs and several thousand people in a live audience. The pitches are also livestreamed on TechCrunch and a writer will cover your company and release a post during the event.
Battlefield teams are provided a free tickets to Disrupt, a booth in a designated section of Startup Alley for the Battlefield, invites to the TechCrunch VIP Dinners, After-Parties and of course, Battlefield swag. To promote the Battlefield further, TechCrunch collaborated with Crunchbase, ProductHunt, and AngelList to make sure startups are visible everywhere when they launch!
