Pivot Announces Its First Open Demo Day With $100,000 In Rewards For Web3 And AI Startups


In Brief
Pivot is launching its first Open Demo Day in October 2025, giving global Web3 and AI founders the chance to pitch to investors, gain exposure, and compete for a $100,000 reward pool.

Pivot, a global venture accelerator empowering founders across Web3 and AI, has announced the launch of its first-ever Open Demo Day, set to take place virtually in October 2025. The event opens the stage to early-stage startups and scale-ups from across the world, giving them the opportunity to pitch live to a curated panel of global investors, venture funds, and ecosystem leaders.
This initiative marks a major step in Pivot’s mission to democratize founder visibility and access to investor networks. Unlike traditional accelerator demo days that feature only in-program startups, the Open Demo Day is open to all founders actively building in Web3, AI, or at the intersection of both, regardless of cohort affiliation.
A Global Founder-First Platform
“Great ideas deserve a stage, no matter where they come from,” said Anshul Dhir, Founder & CEO at Pivot. “The Open Demo Day is designed to level the playing field for builders globally; founders who may not yet be part of an accelerator but are solving real problems with conviction and clarity.”
The event aims to spotlight founders who are creating tangible solutions and are ready to present their vision in front of an audience that can accelerate their next phase of growth.
$100,000 Reward Pool Backed by Leading Ecosystem Partners
With the backing of several global partners, Pivot has announced a $100,000 reward pool consisting of ecosystem benefits for selected startups. These rewards are designed to give founders tangible resources to build faster.
“Our partners play an instrumental role in empowering founders,” Anshul Dhir further added, “Through this collective reward pool, we’re not just giving financial support, but also taking their story to the ecosystems, that will open up opportunities that can define the startup’s trajectory.”
Why It Matters
The Open Demo Day reflects a growing need for more open, merit-based founder exposure in the rapidly evolving AI and blockchain space. As builders increasingly converge at the intersection of these two technologies, Pivot’s platform offers a global audience and access to a community that believes in milestone-driven growth over cohort-based programs.
Participants will get to:
- Present their startup live to a global investor audience.
- Receive real-time feedback from VCs and angels.
- Gain exposure through Pivot’s investor network of 500+ venture funds, Angels and ecosystem partners.
- Compete for rewards and visibility that can accelerate their growth.
