What magic is this? No hocus-pocus required
Simply apply to our TC Top Picks program
Applying is also free, and it easy to do
However, earning that coveted Top Pick designation — not so easy.
TechCrunch editors have a keen eye for the qualities that translate into
They&ll thoroughly review every application and then choose up to five stellar startups for each of the following categories:AI, Biotech +
Healthtech, Enterprise/SaaS, Fintech, Mobility, Retail + E-commerce, Robotics + Hardware IOT, Security/Privacy, Social Impact + Education,
Space.
Pro tip: Keep the phrase &up to five& in mind
If the editors feel only three startups fit the bill for any given category, they&ll stop at three.
Now that you know how to apply, let talk
about why you should apply
Every Top Pick startup receives a free Startup Alley Exhibitor Package
As a Top Pick VIP, you&ll strut your impressive stuff for a full day in a prime location in Startup Alley, our exhibition floor
The package also includes three complimentary Founder passes to Disrupt SF 2020 — bring your crew and make the most of your time at the
show.
Thousands of people, including investors and tech media, pour through Startup Alley, and everyone wants to know who made the Top Pick
You&ll reap invaluable exposure to potential customers, partners, mentors and again…investors
Who doesn''t love investors?
Here what Francisco Serra-Martins, founder of Australia-based Sonder Designs, says about his Top Pick
experience:
Being a TC Top Pick at Disrupt San Francisco not only helped us close out an additional $1 million investment for our seed
round, it was an incredible opportunity to introduce our technology to an international community and to engage with the San Francisco
startup ecosystem.
One of the most exciting parts of earning a Top Pick designation is the media exposure
Hundreds of top media outlets attend Disrupt, and they&re all looking for great stories
And, drum roll please, your media experience also includes being interviewed by a TechCrunch editor live on the Showcase Stage.
We record
the interview, edit the video and blast it across our social media networks
It a valuable marketing tool that you can use long after Disrupt ends.
