What is the SBF 200?
It’s a curated cohort of 200 early-stage startups selected by our highly discerning editorial team. Why should you throw your hat into the ring? For starters, applying to and participating in the SBF 200 is 100% free — from start to finish. If you make the cut, you’ll receive a full VIP experience at Disrupt that includes:
- Access to all the presentations, breakouts and roundtables at the show.
- Exhibition space for all three days of Disrupt. Note: The SBF 200 are the only startups allowed to exhibit at the conference.
- SBF 200-only workshops and pitch training with TC staff.
- The opportunity to flash-pitch investors and TechCrunch editors.
- Media and investor exposure.
- A shot at competing in Startup Battlefield. Our world-class pitch competition has turned startups — like Dropbox, Mint and many more — into household names.
TechCrunch editors will choose 20 of the SBF 200 startups to compete in the iconic Startup Battlefield. Those founders will receive private pitch coaching and pitch live to our panel of judges in front of the entire Disrupt audience. Only one will walk away with the title, the glory and the $100,000 equity-free prize.
