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