Expert Scale Selected for the Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

Expert Scale, Inc. today announced that it has been selected for the Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. The company will exhibit the Apex Replicant platform at Moscone West in San Francisco, October 13–15, 2026.

The Startup Battlefield 200 is the group of early-stage companies TechCrunch chooses to exhibit on the Disrupt floor. Selection is by application and review.

What Expert Scale is bringing

A Digital Protégé you can talk to.

Expert Scale takes one person’s working knowledge — the judgment calls, the standard practices, the answers they give the same way every time — and builds an AI that holds it. Visitors at the booth can ask it questions and hear it answer in the expert’s own words, from the expert’s own material. It only knows what the expert has taught it. When it does not know, it says so.

The companies that buy this are usually facing one of three problems: a senior expert is retiring and the knowledge leaves with them, one expert cannot cover every team that needs them, or new hires take a year to reach the answers a veteran gives in a minute.

“The pitch for this is hard to make on a slide and easy to make in person,” said Drew Harris, CEO, Co-Founder and Chief Product Technology Officer at Expert Scale, Inc. “You have to talk to one. That is what a booth is for. Come ask ours something only the expert would know, and watch what it does when you ask something they never covered.”
