Buy tickets to the Austin and Seattle pitch-offs now

It’s time for a little friendly competition among startups. TechCrunch is coming to Austin and Seattle in two weeks, and we’re bringing the TC pitch-off with us.

Ten companies will have exactly 60 seconds each to pitch their wares to a panel of expert judges, including TC editors and local VCs.

After all the presentations, the judges will determine our winners.

First place will receive a table in Startup Alley at TechCrunch Disrupt SF in September. Second place gets two tickets to the show and the Audience Choice winner will get one ticket to the conference.

Apply to the pitch-offs here. Applications close June 3.

If you’re not interested in pitching, there will be plenty of time for networking and throwing back a few beers. (21+ only, please.)
