Bindr Selected for Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024

Pittsburgh-based LGBTQIA+ dating app Bindr has been chosen to participate in the prestigious Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024. As one of only 200 startups selected from thousands of global applicants, Bindr will pitch its innovative platform to leading investors and TechCrunch editors at the event, which takes place from October 28-30 in San Francisco.

Bindr offers a unique dating experience by eliminating the need for users to set their sexual orientation, allowing for more fluid and inclusive connections. CEO and Co-founder Mary Richardson expressed excitement about the recognition, noting that Bindr has rapidly expanded its user base to millions. “This selection highlights how much our community needed an app like Bindr, and now the tech world is taking notice,” said Richardson.

TechCrunch Disrupt is renowned for introducing game-changing technologies and launching companies that have gone on to achieve major success, such as Dropbox and Cloudflare. By participating in Startup Battlefield 200, Bindr will gain access to exclusive networking opportunities, masterclasses, and investor meetings.

This opportunity not only showcases Bindr’s growth and innovation but also positions it as a key player in the tech-driven evolution of the LGBTQIA+ dating space – a market that continues to grow as more and more subcommunities (polyamorous users, for example) seek apps that the can call home. With the support of TechCrunch Disrupt, Bindr is poised to make a lasting impact on both the tech and LGBTQIA+ communities.
