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. 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.
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?
