Startup Alley is jam packed with early stage companies showing their talent and technology to audience members. Browsing through Startup Alley introduces a range of exciting companies to the marketplace, many who are launching at Disrupt for the first time. Around 50 new companies demo on Monday and a whole new set of 50 companies demo on Tuesday. As you can see, a total of around 100 companies launch at Startup Alley every year.

Startup Alley companies also get the chance to present on the Disrupt stage in front of our esteemed judges. On Monday and Tuesday, the audience votes for their “Audience Choice Winner” and receives the last spot to compete on stage as part of that day’s Battlefield contestants. If chosen, that company will be eligible to compete in the Battlefield Finals for the $50,000 grand prize and coveted Disrupt Cup. Startups wanting to participate in Startup Alley must be less than 2 years old, with less than $2.5 million in funding.

Questions? Email startupalley@techcrunch.com

Country Pavilions are a section within Startup Alley designated to early stage startups from a specific geographic area. It’s a great way to recognize the booming startup community internationally. In the past we’ve had country pavilions formed by startups from Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Israel, Italy, Korea, and Mexico.

Hardware Alley is a collection of eclectic hardware manufacturers that takes over Startup Alley on the last day of Disrupt. It’s a great opportunity to get the word out about your crowdfunded project or mass-market device. Hardware Alley is where hundreds of amazing start-ups have launched.

After Party hosted by TechCrunch at Le Poisson Rouge

The goal is a lofty $250,000 and we’re asking you to help recruit, train and support at least 50 Bay Area Teach For America corps members. And, as always, Team TechCrunch is going to kick everyone else’s butts.

Teach For America places some of the best and brightest college grads in teaching positions within low-income schools. These young teachers have proven to be a valuable addition to impoverished urban and rural school districts. The organization is flooded with applications each year but TFA only has the funds to deploy a few teachers to the most needy districts.

That’s where we come in.

The goal is to raise $250,000 through Causes, which, as noted, would fund at least 50 teachers in the Bay Area. Teach For America has been working in the Bay Area since 1991, with 430 TFA corps members working in Richmond, Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose — reaching over 30,000 students at 127 schools.

The contest will run until April 18th, and there will be two grand prizes. The individual, or team, that helps Teach For America fund the most teachers will win an opportunity at the home of the World Champion San Francisco Giants and a table for 10 at Teach For America – Bay Area’s 3rd Annual Benefit Dinner on April 23rd, featuring keynote speaker Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO. Teach for America also encourages support at all levels and the individual, or team that garners the most individual donations will win the entire Westward Leaning collection found here. If TechCrunch wins, we’ll give those tickets to the people or startup that contributed the most to the Team TechCrunch till.

To sign up or to donate, visit our page here.

Tickets: Tickets will go on sale on June 18. Stay tuned to TechCrunch for the release, as they sell out quickly. #tcaugustcapital

Join us for a great mix of start-up demos, networking, giveaways, drinks and fun on the best deck on all of Sand Hill Road.

Due to limited capacity and strong demand for tickets, we regret tickets are NOT TRANSFERABLE and NOT REFUNDABLE. If you use your name to purchase multiple tickets, your guests must arrive with you to check in at the door. Attendee identification will be checked at the door against the guest list; paper tickets not necessary.

Parking will be extremely limited so we encourage you to leave plenty of time to find parking, or carpool with friends and co-workers.
