Join the Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 and showcase your early-stage startup to the world. This global startup competition handpicks 200 of the most promising startups, and Latin American founders are encouraged to apply before the June 10 deadline.
TechCrunch, a reputable platform in the startup world, carefully vets all applicants and selects participants based on their potential impact. The competition is free to enter, and last year’s cohort included four impressive startups from Latin America. These startups included Allie AI, a B2B AI-based technology company supporting heavy industries in emerging markets, and Narval, a Mexican company designing synthetic Antibody Mimetic Proteins using AI. GoDocta, a healthcare platform connecting Caribbean patients with routine medical care, and Zumma, an AI-powered personal financial platform for Latin Americans, were also finalists.
Participating in the Startup Battlefield 200 comes with several perks. Firstly, receiving the TechCrunch seal of approval carries significant weight in the startup world and attracts invaluable investor and media interest. Additionally, participants gain full access to Disrupt, including four additional passes and VIP access to presentations, breakouts, and roundtables. Founders also receive exclusive masterclasses and special pitch training from TechCrunch staff, preparing them for their moment on the Showcase Stage.
At Disrupt, participants have the opportunity to pitch in front of investors and TechCrunch editors, receiving valuable feedback and potentially catching an investor’s interest. They also receive exhibition space on the show floor for all three days, allowing them to showcase their products or services to a wide audience.
The ultimate prize for Startup Battlefield participants is the chance to compete for $100,000 in the pitch competition. TechCrunch editors will select 20 startups from the SB 200 to be Startup Battlefield finalists. These founders will be featured on TechCrunch, receive private pitch coaching, and pitch live onstage in front of the entire Disrupt audience. The winner takes home the $100,000 equity-free prize and gains recognition and prestige in the startup ecosystem.
If you’re an early-stage founder based in Latin America, don’t miss this opportunity to launch your business on a global stage.
