Time is relentless and right now it is no friend to procrastination-prone early-stage startup founders. The application window for Startup Battlefield 200 (SB 200) on australiabusinessblog.com Disrupt 2023 will close in a week. Can you afford to miss out on this potentially life-changing opportunity? We think not.

Startup Battlefield 200 applications will close in 7 days

The elite SB 200 cohort debuted last year at Disrupt 2022 and is comprised of entrepreneurs from more than 20 countries and 25 industries. This year the competition is off the hook, but you stand no chance of making the cut unless you sign up for the Startup Battlefield 200 before May 15 at 11:59 PM PDT.

Remark: If you started an application, check your email for a link to complete the second part.

What is it like to be part of SB 200? You’ll find out in our four-episode podcast, Inside Startup Battlefield. It takes you behind the scenes of one of the most anticipated startup competitions in technology. Episode one gives a great overview of what we’re looking for – and why Startup Battlefield is different from any other startup competition out there.
