In New York City this week, TechCrunch is hosting its Disrupt conference where a number of startups will have their chance to impress a panel of judges and win the $50,000 grand prize.

The Disrupt Battlefield is where the new startups will be making their pitches to investors, VCs and innovators.  15 companies already presented Monday with more to come Tuesday.  I will be there Wednesday when the winner is announced.

Another Disrupt feature is the Startup Alley, where some of the more promising startups in the world get the chance to show their companies off.  Shizzlr, a company that started at UConn while I was a student there a few years back, is one of the companies on Startup Alley.  I hope to catch up with them there.

Wednesday’s agenda also includes a presentation titled “Revolutionizing Beer” with Entourage’s Adrian Grenier.  Plus, MC Hammer is a judge for the Battlefield.
