Full access to Disrupt: Founders of SB 200 Disrupt attend for free, receive four bonus passes and VIP access to all presentations and roundtables.
Free display space for the entire show: SB 200 will be the only startups allowed to showcase at Disrupt. Nobody can buy their way to the fairgrounds.
Investor interest and media exposure: You can bet investors looking for future unicorns and journalists looking for the next big story will make it to the fair floor to meet and greet the SB 200 founders.
Workshops and training: SB 200 Founders will be invited to attend exclusive workshops and master classes in the weeks leading up to Disrupt. They will receive one-on-one presentation training from TechCrunch employees and one free year of TechCrunch+ membership.
A quick presentation to an audience of investors and core contributor editors: This instructable will come in handy when you step onto the catwalk. You’ll receive invaluable feedback, and just might find your way into an investor’s portfolio.
Shot at $100,000: TechCrunch editors will select 20 startups from the SB 200 to be a finalist for Startup Battlefield. The founders of these 20 companies will receive private pitch training, be featured in an article on TechCrunch and be featured on stage live in front of an entire Disrupt audience. The final winner receives a stock-free prize of $100,000 and all the glory.
