Startup Battlefield 200 applications close in days: Apply before May 27

If you're building an AI startup, you've got until May 27 to apply for Startup Battlefield 200. That's just days away.

This isn't just another pitch competition. You get direct access to VCs, global visibility through TechCrunch's platform, and you're competing for $100,000 in funding. For early stage founders, that kind of exposure can change your trajectory.

The AI space is crowded right now, which makes these platforms more valuable. Getting featured by TechCrunch means your product gets in front of the exact audience that matters: investors actively looking for AI companies, potential enterprise customers, and other founders who might become partners or acquirers.

Whether you're working on AI infrastructure, developer tools, or applications, this is one of the few competitions that actually delivers on the promise of meaningful connections. The deadline is tight, but if you've got a working product and traction, it's worth the scramble.

You can also nominate other startups if you know someone who should apply. The application closes May 27, so don't wait on this one.
