About this event
Three days at Moscone West built around Startup Battlefield, where a handpicked 200 compete on the main stage for the $100,000 Disrupt Cup. Roughly 10,000 founders, investors and technology press.
The Battlefield 200 list is itself worth reading whether or not you attend: it is one of the more carefully curated early-stage samples published each year.
