The application window for Startup Battlefield 200 is closing in three days. Founders of early-stage startups have until June 8 to apply for the competition, which takes place at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 in San Francisco.
Selected startups will gain exposure, pitch live in front of top investors, and have the chance to win $100,000 in equity-free funding. Over the years, Startup Battlefield alumni have collectively raised more than $32 billion and achieved over 250 exits.

TechCrunch is looking for bold early-stage startups with a working MVP and a vision capable of disrupting an industry. With the application window closing soon, this is the last chance for founders to put their startups in front of investors, media, customers, and future partners.
