Pivot and XDC Network are excited to announce a joint co-acceleration initiative titled ‘Let’s Pivot-to-XDC,’ which will provide funding to foster the growth of innovative blockchain startups.

This collaboration focuses on supporting 10 promising startups working in the DeFi, Payments, and Real-World Asset (RWA) sectors, aiming to enhance blockchain integration on the XDC Network.

The program, facilitated by Pivot with the assistance of the XDC Network team, aims to empower startups to build their solutions on the XDC Network blockchain through targeted funding and mentorship. The initiative seeks to accelerate the growth of blockchain projects that can create transformative solutions in the financial sector.

Anshul Dhir, Founder & CEO of Pivot, expressed his enthusiasm:

“The ‘Let’s Pivot-to-XDC’ program, in partnership with XDC Network, supports startups innovating in DeFi, Payments, and RWA. With XDC’s scalable blockchain technology and funding from XVC Tech, this initiative offers unparalleled access to resources and capital, driving the adoption of decentralized finance and real-world asset integration.”

Ritesh Kakkad, Co-Founder of XDC Network, commented:

“The ‘Let’s Pivot-to-XDC’ program not only accelerates growth but also facilitates investor mixture events, allowing startups to connect with co-investors not only for funding but to gain valuable feedback from the VC community. This collaborative environment is designed to fuel innovation and long-term success for all participants.”
