The Startup Battlefield 200 judges who'll decide the winner at Disrupt 2026
xCruzo Brief
TechCrunch Disrupt 2026’s Startup Battlefield will run October 13–15, with just 200 of thousands of applicants selected and only 20 finalists pitching across all three days on the Disrupt Stage. The winner will be decided by five Startup Battlefield finalist judges, chosen for their track records: each has founded or co-founded the investment firm they lead. Collectively, they bring decades of experience across venture backing, company building, and scaling. After the final pitch, all five reunite on the Builders Stage for a live AMA. Judges include Stacy Brown-Philpot (Cherryrock Capital), Chi-Hua Chien (Goodwater Capital), and Dayna Grayson (Construct Capital).
