The application window for Startup Battlefield Australia is closing in just a few days on July 6. This event, returning to Australia in partnership with Stripe, offers a chance for startups to pitch live in front of top-tier investors and the tech community. The top three winners will receive up to $15,000 in Stripe fee credits, and the grand winner will get automatic entry into Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco.
The event has a history of success, with past participants raising over $85 million. In 2017, HealthMatch won Startup Battlefield Australia, going on to raise over $25 million and serve over 1 million patients globally. The runner-up, FluroSat, secured a Microsoft seed round and eventually became part of Regrow Agriculture, which has raised over $60 million.
This year's event will take place on August 19, 2026, at Stripe Tour Sydney. With the application deadline approaching, startups have just six days left to apply for a chance to pitch and win.
