Applications close in 48 hours — here’s everything Australian founders need to know about Stripe x Startup Battlefield
TechCrunch is hosting a 'Startup Battlefield' pitch competition in Sydney in partnership with Stripe, offering Australian startups a chance to win prizes and entry into the Disrupt event in San Francisco. Applications close in 48 hours.
Why it matters
This event provides a high-profile platform for early-stage startups to gain funding, exposure, and international networking opportunities.
The window is almost shut. On August 19, eight startups will take the stage at Stripe Tour Sydney in front of investors, global press, and the Australian tech community. One startup walks away with automatic entry into TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco — no application, no further competition, a guaranteed spot on the world’s most iconic startup stage.
There are only 48 hours left to apply . Don’t wait.
Startup Battlefield is TechCrunch’s flagship pitch competition — the one that launched Dropbox, Cloudflare, Discord, and Trello. Collectively, Startup Battlefield alumni have raised $32 billion and produced more than 250 exits across 1,700+ companies worldwide.
The Stripe x Startup Battlefield is a first-of-its-kind partnership with Stripe, bringing the competition to Sydney for one night only. Eight Australian startups will be selected to pitch live. Three will win prizes. One will go to San Francisco.
