Founders can apply here.

Master the pitch deck

Pitches are crucial in finding funding and first clients. However, it’s rare for innovators to get it really open insight into their pitches Before step in front of VCs. At TC Early Stage, founders can compete in front of an expert jury and gain important insights before they compete. The investors give live feedback on the structure, content, solution and presentation of your pitch. Three Founders will be selected to give a two-minute elevator pitch, while three Founders will be selected to give a four-minute single-deck pitch. Founders applying for the TC Early Stage Pitch Deck Teardown will automatically be considered for the Startup Battlefield competition at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco in September.
