At the very starting, there have been 20 startups. After two days of extremely fierce competitors, we now have a winner.
Startups taking part within the Startup Battlefield have all been hand-picked to take part in our extremely aggressive startup competitors. They all introduced in entrance of a number of teams of VCs and tech leaders serving as judges for an opportunity to win $100,000 and the coveted Disrupt Cup.
After hours of deliberations, TechCrunch editors pored over the judges’ notes and narrowed the listing down to 5 finalists: OmniVis, Orbit Fab, Render, StrattyX and Traptic.
These startups made their technique to the finale to demo in entrance of our ultimate panel of judges, which included: Mamoon Hamid (Kleiner Perkins), Ashton Kutcher (Sound Ventures), Alfred Lin (Sequoia), Marissa Mayer (Lumi Labs), Ann Miura-Ko (Floodgate Ventures) and Matthew Panzarino (TechCrunch).
