Granted, not just any pre-Series A startup can qualify to be a TC Top Pick. For starters, your company must fall into one of these categories: AI, AR/VR, Blockchain, Biotech, Fintech, Gaming, Healthtech, Privacy/Security, Space (as in “outer”), Mobility, Retail or Robotics/Hardware.
Still with us? Great. Next, our team of TechCrunch editors will review every eligible application and select up to five startups to represent each category. Several companies will earn the coveted TC Top Pick designation and each team receives a free Startup Alley Exhibitor Package. Here’s what that gets you:
- A one-day exhibit space in Startup Alley
- Three Founder passes (good for all three days of the show)
- Full use of CrunchMatch — our investor-to-startup matching platform
- Access to the full event press list
- TC Top Pick Media Bonus: A three-minute video interview on the Showcase Stage with a TechCrunch editor — promoted across our social media platforms
Exhibiting in Startup Alley at a Disrupt event offers founders tremendous networking, collaboration and investment opportunities. Luke Heron, the CEO of TestCard.com, had this to say about the benefits of exhibiting in Startup Alley at Disrupt:
“TechCrunch uses a curation process regarding the companies it accepts. So being at Disrupt — among all these other fantastic startups — has a hugely positive impact when you’re fundraising.”
You truly have nothing to lose by applying to be a TC Top Pick, but you’ll never know what you missed if you don’t get your application in before the clock runs out.
