Testimonials

Pinnacle has equipped me with the required skillsets to run a startup.

Dhabit Firdaus, Founder of BP Media

Pinnacle helped our startups understand the Southeast Asia market better. Our visits to ecosystem players were well organised by the team and were effective in forging strong connections between startups from both countries.

Participating in the Accelerator Bootcamp has allowed me to see a different perspective on entrepreneurship as I have come from a traditional business mindset. The programme has allowed me to focus on the necessities in running my business.
