TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield 200 applications close today

Today marks the final deadline to apply or nominate a startup for TechCrunch's Startup Battlefield 200 competition. The window closes at 11:59 p.m. PT, ending the chance to compete for $100,000 in equity-free funding and a spot on the TechCrunch Disrupt stage.

The deadline to enter one of the startup world's most prestigious competitions has arrived. TechCrunch's Startup Battlefield 200 is closing its application window today at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, giving founders their final hours to submit or nominate a startup for consideration.

The competition offers selected startups a shot at $100,000 in equity-free funding — meaning founders keep full ownership of their company. Beyond the prize money, participants gain access to global visibility, direct connections with investors, and a coveted spot on the TechCrunch Disrupt stage, one of the most watched platforms in the tech industry.

Founders who have not yet submitted their application, or those wishing to nominate a promising startup they know, must act before the midnight deadline. Once the clock runs out, the opportunity is gone until the next cycle.
