The clock is ticking for aspiring Australian founders.

With just 48 hours until applications close on July 20, this pitch competition could launch your startup into the global spotlight. The grand winner secures a spot at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco — no application required, guaranteed entry and exposure to investors and press.

The key? A working MVP, a clear founding story and honesty about your competition. Press coverage isn't a deal-breaker, nor is having customers or revenue yet. Past rejections don’t count against you either.

‘The worst outcome is a stronger application next time,’ says the application criteria — but what if that’s this time?

Free to apply and with no equity taken, the chance to pitch live on August 19 in Sydney isn’t one to miss. Your startup could be the next Dropbox or Discord.
