Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LInkedIn


For startups around the world, the TechCrunch Startup Battlefield program offers unmatched exposure, credibility, and connections to scale their businesses. TechCrunch has long been committed to spotlighting companies solving real-world problems in scalable and sustainable ways — making it a powerful launchpad for startups both in and outside the U.S.

Several Latin American startups have thrived in this environment. Tackling critical challenges in their regions with bold, innovative solutions, these companies have turned Startup Battlefield momentum into international success. With increased visibility and valuable connections, they’ve attracted global investors, expanded into new markets, and grown their teams.

Some LatAm startups that have used Startup Battlefield as a springboard to the global stage

Salva Health (Colombia)

Salva Health is transforming breast cancer detection with its Julieta screening device, making early detection more affordable and accessible. Winning 2024 Startup Battlefield supercharged their visibility and positioned them for rapid growth. 

Check out this episode of the Equity podcast to hear Salva’s founder discuss how the competition helped propel the company forward.

Ripio (Argentina)

​Ripio (formerly BitPagos) is a blockchain-powered fintech company offering digital wallets, crypto trading, and decentralized credit to promote financial inclusion in Latin America. After being selected as a Startup Battlefield New York finalist in 2016, Ripio raised a $50 million Series B led by Digital Currency Group, fueling expansion into Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, and Spain.

Jefa (Mexico)

Jefa is a digital challenger bank built for unbanked and underbanked women in Latin America, offering mobile-first services like savings accounts and debit cards. After rising to prominence as a 2020 Startup Battlefield finalist, Jefa was acquired by fintech company Tala, accelerating its mission to close the gender gap in financial access.

Olho do Dono (Brazil)

Olho do Dono uses 3D imaging to help livestock farmers in Latin America monitor cattle weight and health without the need for physical scales. After winning Startup Battlefield Latin America in 2018, the company gained regional recognition and validated its innovative approach to modernizing livestock management.

Why LatAm startups should apply

Global exposure

Being featured by TechCrunch puts startups in front of a global audience of investors, customers, and collaborators — amplifying their reach far beyond local markets.

Investor visibility

Startup Battlefield draws attention from top-tier venture capitalists, angels, and global investors who closely follow the competition. The exposure can lead to valuable conversations and funding opportunities with aligned backers.

Credibility and validation

Participation signals that a startup’s solution is globally relevant and scalable. This validation helps attract interest from media, enterprise partners, and investors alike.

Access to a powerful network

Founders join a dynamic community of fellow entrepreneurs, mentors, and industry leaders. The program fosters organic connections that often lead to partnerships, guidance, and long-term support.
