I’m thrilled to announce the three startups to pitch at TechCrunch Live’s special event in Boston. This virtual event start at 2:00 pm EST/11:00 am PST on Monday, February 27 and is free to attend. The event will feature leaders in the Boston startup scene and concludes with a pitch-off. The following startups were picked by TechCrunch editorial staff to participate.

And you can watch live! Register here for the event.

The show kicks off with a conversation between .406 Venture’s Greg Dracon and Matt Caulfield, CEO of Oort, to talk through the Boston ecosystem, and why security startups should look at building their companies in Boston. This is followed by a conversation with the CEO of MassChallenge, Cait Brumme, on Boston’s deep community resources available for startup founders. Lastly, just before the pitch-off, legendary roboticist Marc Raibert is speaking to TechCrunch’s Hardware Editor Brian Heater on why he built Boston Dynamics in Boston and explains his latest venture, leading the Hyundai AI Institute.

This is a free event, and I hope you can attend. Register here.
