"The Startup Battlefield Top 20 represents the best of the best from the Startup Battlefield 200. Companies with ideas that are meaningfully different, category-defining, and capable of making a major impact in their industry or geography."
"Your product and founder videos are everything. They are the first impression and play the most significant role in identifying which companies are ready for the Disrupt Stage."
"Selected companies work closely with the TechCrunch team on pitch preparation ahead of Disrupt. Each company pitches and demos live for six minutes on the Disrupt Stage, followed by a live Q&A with top-tier investors."
"Not selected for the Top 20 initially? You're still in the running. The list isn't final until Disrupt is underway. Every year, things change - founders drop out, schedules shift, and standout companies from the 200 rise quickly."
The Startup Battlefield Top 20 is selected from the Startup Battlefield 200, focusing on companies with unique, impactful ideas. Key factors for selection include compelling product and founder videos that demonstrate differentiation and conviction. Selected companies receive pitch preparation support from TechCrunch and present live for six minutes, followed by a Q&A with prominent investors. Five finalists pitch again for a chance to win $100,000 and the Disrupt Cup. The selection process remains open until the event begins, allowing for last-minute changes.
