TechCrunch Disrupt 2026: The five finalists competing for $100.000

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 has reached the final of the Startup Battlefield.

Five finalists, selected from twenty contenders, are competing for a $100,000 non-dilutive grant.

This year's cohort highlights diverse technical applications, ranging from AI agents designed for fraud detection and autonomous infrastructure monitoring to AI-programmable robotics and distributed satellite computing systems.

The five companies vying for the prize are:

• Apate.ai: It uses artificial intelligence to create digital assistants that trap fraudsters during phone calls or through messages, extracting information about their actions.
• Flox Intelligence: Develops a camera system that detects animals and removes them from critical infrastructure, such as airports, using sounds.
• Intero Biosystems: Creates laboratory samples that simulate the human intestine, allowing pharmaceutical companies to test new drugs with greater precision.
• Industrial Next: It builds robotic stations for factories, which are controlled by artificial intelligence. The company's equipment is already used on the production line of popular smartphones.
• Satellite: Develops software that allows satellites in space to share computing tasks with each other, so they can perform actions faster.
