The Approach
The Approach
One size does not fit all.
At Pivot, we recognize the uniqueness of every startup journey. We distinguish ourselves by customizing our accelerator programs to cater to the specific needs, objectives, and work pace of each startup.
Unlike other accelerator programs, Pivot has designed its programs based on the stage at which the startups are currently at and the milestones planned through a conversation with the founders. For example, conducting product market validation or a user onboarding campaign.
Ultimately, at Pivot, we view startup acceleration as a dynamic and collaborative journey. Our commitment to flexibility, adaptability, and personalization ensures that each startup receives the targeted support it needs to navigate the challenges of the Web3 landscape and thrive in its unique path to success.

Onboarding
Onboarding
This starts with receiving applications from startups to the program and selection via a strict, multi-factor process. Pivot will keep the program application open throughout the year and review each application on a periodic basis to select a startup for our programs. Once the selection is complete, we will conduct an orientation program where we introduce all selected startups & fellow participants and provide an overview & expectations of the program. We aim to reach the farthest of locations around the globe to onboard startups who do not have access to such growth & acceleration initiatives.

1-1 Sessions
1-1 Sessions
This will be our first of many interactive sessions with the selected startups on a 1 to 1 basis. These sessions are not just about providing guidance; they are about building a tailored roadmap for success. These sessions set the tone for a relationship built on trust, open communication, and shared objectives. Startups gain not only valuable insights and guidance but also a dedicated ally who is vested in their success. During this time, we will also match each startup with mentor(s) with expertise in their area of work and facilitate introductory meetings with each mentor.

Pivot will organize periodic internal meetups to cultivate a sense of community with open dialogues, Q&A sessions, and collaborative discussions or areas of mutual interests. We could do this for all selected startups combined or for startups sharing a common sector within the program to facilitate cross-pollination of ideas and solutions. We want these meetups to be a melting pot of diverse perspectives, experiences, and challenges that can be shared within the Pivot startup community and provide a practical solution to a problem, or insights that can shape their strategic decisions.
