This year, PACE Bootcamp is introducing a special award to recognise the Best Women-Led Startup. This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting women founders and encouraging greater participation of women in Malaysia’s startup ecosystem.
By spotlighting exceptional women-led ventures, we aim to create more visibility, opportunity, and representation for women building the next wave of innovation.
PACE Bootcamp 2026 is a 3-day intensive workshop crafted to empower aspiring entrepreneurs and early-stage founders to validate their ideas, sharpen their skills, and accelerate growth. It’s where experts meet founders and ideas meet investors — a high-energy platform designed to spark innovation and transform challenges into opportunities.
This year, we’re going bigger.
This bootcamp is ideal for:
Join the program to supercharge your growth journey - whether you have an idea or a solution driving innovation and leveraging technology to improve access, efficiency, and impact across various sectors.
Deep dive into crucial areas like product development, go-to market strategies, and storytelling.
Launchpad to turn vision into impactful action and sustainable growth.
From tools, training, and credits to expert knowledge tailored for founders.
Connect with industry leaders, investors, and fellow visionaries.
It's a founder-first program shaped by real-world startup journeys and backed by venture capital expertise.
We condense maximum value into an immersive 3-day bootcamp, giving you the clarity, tools, and confidence to act immediately.
Running bootcamps across multiple states, we bring opportunities to founders everywhere, not just major cities.
Every session is built for founders to learn, apply, and build fast — from validating your idea and refining your business model to crafting and delivering a concrete pitch.
A fast-track learning journey that multiplies your growth, clarity, and readiness as a founder.

Overall, it was just a great space to pause, reflect on why we do what we do, and be reminded of the bigger picture. It was also such a valuable opportunity to hear different perspectives and be around other founders. Winning PACE gave us a huge confidence boost. As a new startup, that kind of validation is hard to come by — especially when what we’re doing is so niche.

Progress since Top 3 recognition:
What really stood out was the practical value: cloud credits, workspace access, and most importantly curated mentor matches. We weren’t looking for general advice; we wanted targeted guidance from people who actually get our space. That’s how we got connected with Desmond Lee, a seasoned technical expert who has held senior leadership roles within a leading insurance company.
