90 minutes. One real startup challenge. Infinite possibilities.
Purpose in Motion (PIM) invites you to TechImpact Ideathon – Session 2, a high-energy, hands-on ideation experience designed for students, early-career professionals, and aspiring innovators who want to apply technology to solve real-world problems fast.
This session brings together founders, mentors, and young changemakers to collaborate on a live startup problem, offering participants a front-row seat to how impactful technology is built in the real world.
What Is the TechImpact Ideathon?
The TechImpact Ideathon is a fast-paced innovation sprint where participants work in teams to design technology-driven solutions to real challenges faced by impact-led startups in just 90 minutes. Unlike traditional hackathons, this ideathon emphasizes structured thinking, collaboration, and real-world feasibility over long development cycles.
In just 90 minutes, participants move from problem understanding to ideation, pitching, and feedback — mirroring the way early-stage startups innovate under real constraints.
Session 2 Spotlight: Solving a Live Startup Challenge with DAISY AI
For Session 2, participants will work directly with the founders of DAISY AI, a startup building the autopilot for food processors.
DAISY AI is developing software that takes over day-to-day operational decisions currently made by humans — replacing guesswork with clarity. Starting with the dairy industry, the platform predicts supply with far greater accuracy, with a long-term vision to become the AI-driven decision-making layer for food processors globally.
During the session, the founders will:
- Share a real, active problem statement they are currently working to solve
- Provide context on the industry, constraints, and user needs
- Engage directly with participants as they ideate and refine solutions
This ensures that every idea developed during the ideathon is grounded in real startup realities, impact considerations, and technological feasibility.
