From the stage to the future: Where are Startup Battlefield’s alumni now?

TechCrunch revisits recent Startup Battlefield alumni to explore what happens after their time on stage. The piece highlights founders who have also appeared on Build Mode: The Founder Survival Guide, its podcast for entrepreneurs at different stages.

The follow-up underscores growing interest in the long-term outcomes of startup competitions, not just pitch-day winners. It also reflects how media brands are using founder storytelling across events and podcasts to deepen engagement with startup communities.

We wanted to show you what happens after the confetti falls. We checked in with some of our recent alumni, many of whom have sat down with us on Build Mode: The Founder Survival Guide, TechCrunch's podcast for founders at every stage.
