TechCrunch has unveiled its 2026 Startup Battlefield 200, a handpicked selection of early-stage companies chosen from thousands of global applicants. These startups will gather at the Moscone West in San Francisco from October 13–15 to exhibit their work and compete for the $100,000 equity-free Disrupt Cup.
During the three-day event, the selected founders will participate in live demonstrations and pitch sessions. A final group of 20 finalists will be selected from the 200 participants, with the ultimate winner announced during the conference. The event is supported by premier sponsors Google for Startups and SAP, as organizers prepare to transition from the application phase to the live event in October.
