PDTI is a nonprofit incubator and accelerator backing deep‑tech founders with synergistic infrastructure, targeted capital, and execution support—while investing in public‑benefit education.

(About PDTI)

Builder Ownership

Scientific Rigor

Public Benefit

PDTI exists to close a recurring gap: high‑impact teams often have the science, but lack the infrastructure, capital, and execution support to reach a credible MVP—without giving away their ownership.

‍

We focus on deep tech where validation matters—medical and bioengineering, AI and data systems, regulated environments, advanced manufacturing, and resilience‑critical engineering.

Portfolio & Programs

We’re building the foundation now. First sponsored organizations and full portfolio pages will be announced shortly in our Alpha release.

PDTI Partners and sponsored organization coming soon

Directors

PDTI is governed by directors focused on mission alignment, credibility, and execution oversight. Additional advisors and reviewers will be introduced as they’re ready to be announced.

In pre‑alpha, we prioritize truthful claims and founder‑aligned structure. Our early “numbers” are principles—because credibility comes before metrics.
