The 2026 Startup Battlefield 200 is here — see who made the cut

We’re thrilled to unveil the 2026 Startup Battlefield 200 — TechCrunch’s annual, handpicked list of the 200 most promising early-stage startups from around the world.

These founders rose to the top from thousands of applications spanning every industry and geography. Their reward? A coveted spot to exhibit at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 , taking place October 13–15 in San Francisco’s Moscone West. This is the cohort to watch — and this fall, you’ll get to meet them in person.

From AI to climate, health to fintech, robotics to consumer — these are the companies shaping the future across every major category.

A special thank-you to Google for Startups and SAP, our premier sponsors, for helping early-stage startups build, scale, and succeed.

Watch live demos of never-before-seen tech.

See Battlefield companies pitch in front of top global VCs.

Cheer them on as they compete for $100,000, equity-free, and the iconic Disrupt Cup.

Are you a VC scouting the next breakout investment? A tech enthusiast looking to stay ahead of the curve? An early-stage founder who missed the Startup Battlefield 200 application deadline because you were too busy building a robot in your garage?

Step onto the battlefield. Join us at Disrupt 2026. Register for your ticket before prices go up in September.
