Meet the first batch of VCs set to judge Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025


Introducing the first batch of 5 seasoned VCs judging Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 in October. Register here to join.

Winning Startup Battlefield has launched companies like Dropbox, Mint, Vurb, and Cloudflare into the spotlight — and with a $100,000 equity-free prize on the line, the next big name could be born on the Disrupt Stage this October. Philip Clark is an investor at Thrive Capital, where he has partnered with leading software and hardware companies that are engineering breakthrough advancements in AI and robotics, including Anduril, Cursor, Neuralink, Physical Intelligence, and Wiz. Prior to launching the fund, Ms. Feinzaig was a 2x startup exec with 8- and 10-figure exits who started her career under the tutelage of HBS Professor Clayton Christensen, author of the seminal theory of disruptive innovation.
