Investors and the Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch 2023
If you’re looking for prime portfolio fodder, make a beeline for the expo floor and become acquainted with Startup Battlefield 200. Thousands of early-stage startups applied and endured a rigorous vetting process to join the elite cohort of 200. Go meet and talk with them, get a product demo, and watch them fast-pitch from the Pitch Showcase Stage.
Then there’s the Startup Battlefield competition itself, where we choose the top 20 from the 200 to compete on the Disrupt Stage for the $100,000 equity-free prize. Be in the room, see them in action and decide whether they fit your portfolio criteria and merit a follow-up meeting.
Note: Startup Battlefield alumni include more than 900 companies — such as Vurb, Dropbox, Mint, Yammer, and many more — with over 121 successful exits (IPOs or acquisitions) and a whopping $9.7 billion raised in funding.
