We’re thrilled to unveil the 2026 Startup Battlefield 200 — the 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 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. Startup Battlefield has long served as a launchpad for startups that go on to define their industries. Alumni include Dropbox, Cloudflare, and Discord. Collectively, past participants have raised more than $32 billion and achieved over 250 exits, a track record that underscores the credibility of this selection.
This year’s program is supported by premier sponsors helping early-stage startups build, scale, and succeed. Only at Disrupt can you watch live demos of never-before-seen tech, see Battlefield companies pitch in front of top global VCs, and cheer them on as they compete for $100,000, equity-free, and the iconic Disrupt Cup.

A legacy of breakout companies
Every year, Startup Battlefield alumni go on to build category-defining companies. The program has played a pivotal role in launching some of the most recognizable names in technology. Its alumni network collectively has raised over $32 billion and generated 250 exits, making it one of the most respected early-stage competitions in the industry.
This year’s cohort reflects a broad range of sectors, from deep-tech ventures in biotech and space to consumer apps and climate solutions. The selected founders represent a global perspective, with companies from North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.
What happens next for selected startups
The top 20 finalists from the Startup Battlefield 200 will be revealed live on Day 1 of Disrupt, October 13. Those finalists will take the stage to pitch in front of top global VCs, with the chance to win $100,000, equity-free, and the Disrupt Cup.
If your startup made the list, keep an eye on your inbox — organizers will be in touch shortly with time-sensitive next steps. If you applied but don’t see your company here, you’ll also receive an official update soon. Due to the high volume of submissions, individual application inquiries cannot be answered.
