Founders, need something to do this weekend? There's no better way to spend your time than applying to this year's Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt. Monday's deadline is fast approaching, so be sure to add it to your weekend to-do list.
We accept both applications and referrals
Startup Battlefield 200 accepts both high-quality applications and referrals. If you're an innovative early-stage startup, we want you to apply. If you know of one (or more) such a startup, please refer them. Submit your application by Monday, June 10 at 11:59 PM PDT.
Applying is completely free and only takes 30 minutes to complete. Scenario: You apply after dinner on a Saturday and then afterwards while sipping cocktails with friends on the outdoor patio. What a perfect evening!
The potential reward? A chance to join companies like Dropbox, Yammer, Mint, Cloudflare, and N26 who have presented onstage at Disrupt and win equity-free cash prizes. And that's just the beginning.
