This October marks 20 years that TechCrunch Disrupt has been shaping the startup world - and we're pulling out all the stops. For two decades, the biggest names in tech, venture capital, and startups have taken our stage to share their visions and make history. Game-changers like Dropbox, Cloudflare, Fitbit, and Discord got their start in Startup Battlefield - and this is where the next generation of breakout companies will be born.
Last year's winner, Salva Health, topped a competitive field of startups with its development of a portable device to detect breast cancer early, especially in rural populations that lack access to mammograms and other diagnostic tools.
