Heiliger Strohsack — holy smokes! In just a few weeks, thousands of attendees will arrive in Germany for Disrupt Berlin 2019, the premiere international tech conference focused on early-stage startups. Talk about an opportunity to expose your fledgling startup to savvy investors, hungry media and a host of successful tech entrepreneurs and potential customers — from more than 50 countries.
Herethe best part: you still have time to plant your flag in Startup Alley and place your innovative products and ideas in front of the movers and shakers who can help you advance your business goals. How? Buy a Startup Alley Exhibitor Package.
Startup Alley exhibitors receive one full day on the expo floor, plus three Founder passes, access to programming on all stages (including theStartup Battlefieldcompetition,speakers, interactive workshops and Q-A Sessions), the complete attendee list via TechCrunch Events Mobile App, CrunchMatch — TechCrunchfree networking platform — the complete press list and exclusive video content access once the conference ends.
Consider the benefits of exhibiting. Disrupt Berlin attendees flock to Startup Alley to meet and greet the hundreds of outstanding startups on display — including our recently announced TC Top Picks. Itnetworking on steroids where you have the opportunity to meet investors determined to find the perfect addition to their portfolios, journalists eager to write about new companies and emerging trends or startuppers looking for collaborators, service providers or a new gig.
Whatmore, every startup that exhibits gets a shot at the Wild Card — which means a spot to compete inStartup Battlefield. Imagine — you could win it all and take home the $50,000 prize. Does that seem far-fetched? Granted, ita longshot, but Legacy earned the Wild Card at Disrupt Berlin 2018 and went on to win the Startup Battlefield ccompetition. And RecordGram did the same at Disrupt NY 2017.
Whether or not you win the Wild Card, exhibiting in Startup Alley provides real benefits. Herewhat Caleb John, co-founder of Cedar Robotics, told us about his experience.
&We demonstrated our technology in front of hundreds of people. It was a chance to meet startups we might work with, investors for potential funding and, because we plan to expand down the road, we&ll need to hire people for R-D. Building relationships with those firms was very helpful.&
Disrupt Berlin 2019 takes place in just a few weeks — on 11-12 December. Don&t miss your opportunity for the kind of exposure that can alter the trajectory of your startup in the best way possible. Buy your Startup Alley Exhibitor Package and show the world what you&ve got!

Write comment (98 Comments)Hello and welcome back toEquity, TechCrunchventure capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.
We have something a bit different for you this week. Equity co-host Kate Clark recently sat down with Manish Chandra, the co-founder and chief executive officer of Poshmark, and one of his earliest investors, NFX managing partner James Currier.
If you haven&t heard of Poshmark, itan online platform for buying and selling clothes. Basically, itthe thrift shop of the 21st century. We asked Chandra how he and co-founders Tracy Sun, Gautam Golwala and Chetan Pungaliya cooked up the idea for Poshmark, what bumps they faced along the way, how they raised venture capital and, of course, what details of their upcoming initial public offering he could share with us. Meanwhile, Currier dished about the companyearly days, when the Poshmark team worked hard on the floor of Currieroffice.
Unfortunately, neither Chandra or Currier were willing to share deets about PoshmarkIPO, reportedly expected soon. But they both shared interesting insights into building a successful venture-backed company, battling competition and putting your best foot forward.
Glad you guys came back for another episode, we&ll see you soon.
