We Want You To Exhibit In Startup Alley At Disrupt SF

Disrupt SF is right around the corner, and spots in the Startup Alley are filling up fast. If you want to get in on the action, now is the time to get your act together and sign up.

Startup Alley is one of the best parts of Disrupt. In the Alley, hundreds of companies proudly display and discuss their technology to enthusiasts eager to hear their story. For three days, software and hardware companies from all around the world will display their wares for hundreds of Disrupt attendees, which includes investors, entrepreneurs and members of the media.

Over the last few years, several hundred companies have displayed in the Alley at Disrupt SF, and we’ve recently added country pavilions to prominently feature companies from places like Israel, Brazil, Argentina and Korea, among others.

In addition to getting their product in front of the tech elite, companies who display in the Alley on Monday and Tuesday have the opportunity to get selected into the Startup Battlefield as the Wild Card. Those companies have the opportunity to pitch their product to some of the brightest minds in tech for the opportunity to win the highly-coveted Disrupt Cup, the $50,000 main prize, and the attention of the entire tech community.

The Wild Card company selected from Wednesday’s Alley will have an opportunity to demo on stage in front of the Disrupt audience.

Some of these Wild Card companies have made it through to the Battlefield Finals, but we’ve yet to see one win the competition. Could Disrupt SF 2015 change all that? Could your company be the one to win the cup?

You won’t know unless you sign up, and doing so couldn’t be easier. Just head over to our ticketing page and purchase the Startup or Hardware Alley Exhibitor Package. For $1,995, you’ll get two tickets to Disrupt and one day to display in the Alley. If you want to bring additional people from your company, you can purchase up to three additional tickets for $997.50 apiece.

Of course, to participate in the Alley, your company will have to be less than two years old and have secured less than $2.5 million in funding.

Disrupt SF 2015 runs from September 21 – 23 at San Francisco’s Pier 70. We hope to see you and your company there.
