What’s New in Startup Alley This Year
Here are the enhancements to Startup Alley for this year, beginning with another compelling reason to secure your exhibitor’s pass without delay.
Startup Alley+
Startup Alley+ will see TechCrunch select 50 exhibitors from Startup Alley to participate in an exclusive group.
These founders will receive, at no extra cost, access to a specially designed pre-Disrupt program.
This includes participation in a pitch competition at Extra Crunch Live, attendance at a series of founder-focused masterclasses, and introductions to leading early-stage investors.
The program is designed to maximize exposure and foster growth even before Disrupt officially begins.
This opportunity commences in July at TC Early Stage: Marketing and Fundraising, with cohort attendance being fully funded.
Secure your exhibitor pass now to be considered for this exclusive program.
The Startup Alley Crawl
The Startup Alley Crawl will dedicate a specific hour to each technology category.
TechCrunch editors will choose several startups from each category and conduct live interviews with the founders directly from the Disrupt stage.
The precise schedule for each crawl will be published in the event agenda closer to the event date.
From Startup Alley to Startup Battlefield
TechCrunch will grant two exceptional startups a Startup Battlefield Wild Card.
These founders will then compete in the exciting Startup Battlefield for a chance to win $100,000.
Pitching Opportunities for All
Every startup exhibiting is eligible for this opportunity.
You will have two minutes to deliver your most compelling pitch and receive constructive feedback from experienced TechCrunch personnel.
This is a valuable chance to refine your presentation and make a lasting impression.
As Jessica McLean, Director of Marketing and Communications at Infinite-Compute, shared, “Disrupt is a fantastic platform for networking with potential investors.
It carries significant credibility, and referencing our CEO’s experience pitching in Startup Alley has helped us forge connections and initiate important discussions.”
