The $100,000 AIE Startup Battlefield pitch competition presented by Hyperagent, plus its setup block.
Accessible with the Engineering pass and above.
Twenty AI startup founders take the floor at Moscone West for a science fair-style demo gauntlet (10:45 AM–1 PM), where judges and attendees circulate freely and ask the tough questions. Three finalists earn a spot on the main stage at 5:25 PM to pitch live in front of our full audience — and walk away with a share of $100,000 in prizes ($50K / $30K / $20K), awarded by Howie Liu and the Hyperagent team!
Builders come from across the AI application stack — from agentic workflows and AI sports tech to social tools and data infrastructure — all competing for the judges' vote and your vote for People's Choice!
Don't miss Howie Liu on stage at 5:10 PM, followed immediately by the finals and the winner announcement. 🏆
