Eight startups, one global stage: your final chance to compete

The deadline is real, and it's moving fast. Australian founders have 48 hours to secure their shot at Stripe Tour Sydney on August 19, where eight startups will pitch to investors and global press. The prize? Automatic entry into TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, no strings attached. That's a rare, direct path to a world stage, and it's worth acting on now. If you're weighing the leap, remember the drive behind events like this mirrors the momentum we saw with Disrupt 2026's final-hour savings.
