Apply to the pitch-off at TC Sessions: Robotics & AI 2020
Mark your calendars and dust off your public-speaking skills. This year, there's an exciting new opportunity at TC Sessions: Robotics & AI, which returns to UC Berkeley on March 3, 2020. We've added a pitch-off specifically for early-stage startups focused on AI or robotics.
You heard right. In addition to a full day packed with speakers, breakout sessions and Q&As featuring the top names, leading minds and creative makers in robotics and AI, we're upping the ante. We'll choose 10 startups to pitch at a private event the night before the show opens. Here's how it works.
The first step: Apply to the pitch-off by February 1. TechCrunch editors will review all applications and select 10 startups to participate. We'll notify the founders by February 15 - you'll have plenty of time to hone your pitch.
You'll deliver your pitch at a private event, and your audience will consist of TechCrunch editors, main-stage speakers and industry experts. Our panel of VC judges will choose five teams as finalists, and they will pitch the next day on the main stage at TC Sessions: Robotics + AI.
Talk about an unprecedented opportunity. Place your startup in front of the influential movers and shakers of these two world-changing industries - and get video coverage on TechCrunch, too. We expect attendance to meet or exceed last year's when 1,500 people attended the show and tens of thousands followed along online.
Oh, and here's one more pitch-off perk. Each of the 10 startup team finalists will receive two free tickets to attend TC Sessions: Robotics + AI 2020 the next day.
TC Sessions: Robotics & AI 2020 takes place on March 3. Apply to the pitch-off here by February 1. Don't want to pitch? That's
