South American Entrepreneur – You are spread across several countries across a vast continent. Throw your hat in the ring, and show us what you’re made of. Here’s what’s in it for you.
It starts with getting the TechCrunch seal of approval — it’s hard to come by, and it carries weight in the startup world. You will be in the spotlight of invaluable investor and media interest. See what else you get — for free.
Full access to interrupt: This includes four additional passes and VIP access to all presentations, breakouts and roundtables.
Exclusive Masterclass: SB 200 founders will enjoy workshops in the weeks leading up to Disrupt. They also receive exclusive pitch training from TechCrunch staffers and a free year of TechCrunch+ membership.
Flash pitch on disruption: That specialized training will come in handy when you step onto the Showcase stage and pitch in front of investors and TechCrunch editors. Get invaluable feedback and – who knows? You may even catch the interest of an investor.
Exhibition locations for all three days: SB200 will be the only early-stage startups allowed to exhibit on the show floor at Disrupt.
Saving the best for last: All SB200 founders have a chance to compete for $100,000 in the Startup Battlefield pitch competition. TechCrunch editors will select 20 startups from the SB 200 as Startup Battlefield finalists. The founders of those 20 companies will be featured on TechCrunch, receive private pitch coaching and then pitch live on stage in front of an entire disrupted audience. The eventual winner takes home $100,000 equity-free, unconditional prize money and all the glory.
