Thousands of startups have applied for the prestigious Startup Battlefield, with only 200 making the cut and a mere 20 pitching on the TechCrunch Disrupt stage. The final decision comes down to five investors who have founded or co-led major investment firms.

These judges have a wealth of experience, having backed unicorns and transformed businesses. Stacy Brown-Philpot, Chi-Hua Chien, Dayna Grayson, Carter Reum, and Alexa Von Tobel bring a blend of venture capital, corporate leadership, and startup success to the table. Each has a unique focus, from consumer technology to foundational industries, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives.

Beyond the final pitch, a live AMA session will allow attendees to engage directly with the judges. The judges will share insights on what makes a great pitch, how to build and scale a company, and where they see the next big investments. This year, the event promises to be a masterclass in innovation and entrepreneurship.
