Sharpen the idea
Before you scale it. Cut the story down to the single claim that has to hold true — and stress-test it hard.
A two-day working summit for deep tech founders — where prototypes meet proof.
Every deep tech company begins with a founder who believes something the market doesn't yet. Pivot exists for the messy middle after that — when the science works on the bench but the company doesn't exist yet. Two days built to move you from early conviction to real traction.
Run by IIMK LIVE, Pivot is deliberately small and deliberately honest. There are no vanity panels and no pay-to-play stages. Founders bring a prototype; mentors and investors bring scars and capital; everyone works the same problem in the same room.
The result is a summit that feels less like a conference and more like a lab — where the goal on day two is a sharper company than you walked in with.
Before you scale it. Cut the story down to the single claim that has to hold true — and stress-test it hard.
A clear, honest read on where to go next, from people with no incentive to flatter your deck.
Founders, mentors and investors in the same space — introductions that turn into commitments.
With proof, not projections. Leave with a working plan for the next 90 days.
Early-stage deep tech teams with a working prototype and a thesis worth defending — AI, hardware, climate, bio, space, robotics and beyond.
Operators who've built and shipped, ready to pressure-test ideas and open real doors.
Backers looking for conviction with proof — and the chance to meet teams before the crowd does.
