60 startups. 3 minutes each. One stage. 🚀

The Pitch Gauntlet was one of the most intense moments of Startup Innovation Weekend Cambodia 2026.

In this fast-paced pitching session, every startup had just three minutes to communicate their vision, solution, and potential impact to a curated audience of mentors, investors, and ecosystem leaders.

No lengthy presentations. No extended discussions. Just clarity, conviction, and the ability to communicate what truly matters.

From sustainability and education to AI, fintech, and digital transformation, the stage showcased innovative ideas from across the region—each addressing real challenges with bold solutions.

The Pitch Gauntlet was more than a pitching session. It was a platform where innovation met opportunity, and where meaningful conversations began.
