TechCrunch Puts the Spotlight on Austin, TX

TechCrunch is hosting a special episode of TechCrunch Live centered on Austin, Texas. We hope you can join us.

The extended episode will feature a pitch deck tear down with The Zebra, a talk with venture capitalists actively writing checks, and a pitch-off with early Austin-based startups.

The line up is killer, but no showcase would be complete without an Austin Pitch-Off. TechCrunch editorial is on the hunt to showcase three Austin-based startups. To qualify you need to:

  • Be based in the greater Austin area
  • Have an MVP
  • Pre-series A

Each company will have 4 minutes to pitch followed by a 5 minute Q&A with our fantastic judges. Companies will get private training with the Startup Battlefield team responsible for training all the TechCrunch early stage company pitches, a mini feature on TechCrunch.com, and a complimentary table at TechCrunch Disrupt 2022 in person. 

Applications will be open until March 31, 2022
