TiE Kerala has announced Pitch Bay as one of the key attractions of TiEcon Kerala 2025, the state’s largest entrepreneurial conference that brings together innovators, investors and business leaders under one roof.
The session will serve as a live pitching platform for early-stage start-ups to present their ideas before a panel of investors and industry experts, with opportunities for on-the-spot funding commitments.
Vivek Krishna Govind, president, TiE Kerala, said the initiative aims to create a vibrant bridge between entrepreneurs and investors who not only bring financial support but also mentorship and strategic direction. “Pitch Bay will be a highly rewarding experience for top start-ups shortlisted through the session,” he noted.
Echoing this, Geemon Korah, vice president, TiE Kerala and chair of TiEcon 2025, said investors are ready to back innovative ideas that can strengthen Kerala’s start-up ecosystem. “This is more than just a pitch; it’s an opportunity for founders to get the right backing at the right time,” he added.
Start-ups based or operating in Kerala can apply by October 31 through keralaangelnetwork.com/investors. Preference will be given to ventures that have achieved a minimum monthly revenue of ₹1 lakh or are running active pilot projects.
TiEcon Kerala 2025 will take place at The Zuri, Kumarakom, on November 21 and 22, under the theme “Celebrating entrepreneurship.” The two-day event will bring together founders, investors, mentors, and innovators from across India.
Over the years, TiEcon has evolved into Kerala’s premier start-up showcase, fostering connections that turn early ideas into thriving ventures. With the addition of Pitch Bay, the 2025 edition promises to make those connections faster, sharper, and more impactful.
