PowerPoint slides are optional, but video demos are required. We look forward to reviewing your application.
All Submissions are confidential unless otherwise permitted by applicants on the application form.
RULES & REQUIREMENTS
To compete in the Startup Battlefield, at time of application submission startups must be live for fewer than three months, less than two years old.
In selecting final contestants, we will give heavy preference to companies that launch for the first time to the public and press at TechCrunch Disrupt. We consider new products from existing companies to be significant. Due to the limited number of competition slots on stage, companies launching new feature sets do not qualify as launch companies. The competition will take place in Beijing, CHINA, and we strongly encourage companies based in China, have chinese interests and/or are from the Pan Asia region to submit their startups for consideration.
Companies that have presented at other public launch events are not eligible for Startup Battlefield. If you’re choosing between launch platforms and need an early decision, please apply and email us at schedule@techcrunch.com and we’ll priority review your application.
