The 2025 Startup Battlefield 200 is here — see who made the cut Isabelle Johannessen AM PDT · August 27, 2025 We’re thrilled to unveil the 2025 Startup Battlefield 200 — TechCrunch’s 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 TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, taking place October 27–29 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.

A special thank-you to Google Cloud, our premier sponsor, for helping early-stage startups build, scale, and succeed.

Only at Disrupt can you:

Are you a VC scouting the next breakout investment? A tech enthusiast looking to stay ahead of the curve? An early-stage founder who missed the Battlefield 200 application deadline because you were too busy building a robot in your garage?

Step onto the battlefield. Join us at Disrupt 2025. Register for your ticket before prices go up in September.
