TechCrunch Disrupt 2024, which takes place from October 28-30 at Moscone West in San Francisco, is rapidly approaching. Today we’re thrilled to announce the 200 startups selected to participate in this year’s Startup Battlefield 200 (SB 200) cohort.
TechCrunch’s editorial staff read, vetted and debated over thousands of applications. Narrowing the group down to 200 companies was a challenge, but we’re very excited about the results. Going through the vetting process reminded us, yet again, just how much creativity, innovation and talent exists within the startup community. It never fails to amaze and inspire us. We know you’ll feel the same after reading through the Startup Battlefield 200 listings.
From across the globe, these 200 companies represent innovation taking place in the following categories:
- SaaS, enterprise and productivity
- Healthtech and biotech
- Hardware, robotics and IoT
- Fintech and edtech
- Security, privacy and social networking
- Sustainability, mobility and logistics
Each startup receives a free, VIP experience that includes master classes on building and running a startup, pitch deck teardowns, curated receptions, access to investors and international media, and more. They’re the only early-stage startups allowed to exhibit at Disrupt 2024, and you’ll find them on the expo floor for the duration of the show.
The SB 200 companies join an illustrious community of more than 1,300 Startup Battlefield alumni, including Cloudflare, Dropbox, Getaround and Discord.
And what is a TechCrunch Disrupt without the Startup Battlefield stage competition?
From the 200 companies, 20 have been selected to pitch on the Disrupt stage in front of thousands of attendees for a chance to win a $100,000 equity-free prize and the Disrupt Cup. We will announce these 20 companies on the first day of the conference. The other 180 will pitch on the Pitch Showcase Stage in the Expo Hall. Both of these are can’t miss events.
Don’t miss the show!
