Global Business

In San Francisco, the tech world has descended on TechCrunch Disrupt-an event bringing together startups, investors and industry stars.

CCTV America’s Mark Niu reports.

One example after another, ‘Startup Alley’ is the place where entrepreneurs vie for attention, showing how their idea will disrupt an industry.

At TechCrunch Disrupt, 23 of the companies here are duking it out at the Startup Battlefield. The winner gets $50,000. But what every startup wants most is exposure to venture capital investors.

Among them, one startup is hoping to shake up the venture capital world itself. Razer is a gaming hardware and software company with a thousand employees. But as startups postpone going public far longer these days, Razer is part of a new trend-startups looking for other startups to invest in.
