At pinQin, we believe that every question is a key to unlocking new opportunities. In fact, the name "pinQin" reflects that very idea: the "Q" stands for the questions and queries that guide us. We know that 80% of a problem is solved simply by asking the right question to the right people at the right time.

 

That’s why we built pinQin: to create an environment where asking questions and making queries feels natural, effortless, and free from pressure. We make this possible through multiple approaches — from innovative, creative events to genuine connections with people ready to help, and by sharing accurate, practical information. Our mission is to help researchers, students, and professionals, especially those living abroad or preparing to, navigate their journeys with confidence and clarity.

​

What We Do: A Three-Fold Approach

​

1. pinQin Mobile Application
Our digital platform connects nearby researchers and skilled professionals based on their skills and interests. It’s more than a networking app; it’s a community where meaningful collaborations are sparked, and support is just a message away.

​

2. pinQin Event Series
We host and support a variety of community events, from our signature PhD Breakfast Series to larger-scale gatherings. Our goal is to help PhD students and researchers navigate their daily challenges and career paths while fostering a sense of community. We also organize real-life events and webinars to ensure continuous learning and growth.

​

3. pinQin Consultancy
We are more than just consultants; we are mentors who have lived the academic, industrial, and entrepreneurial paths ourselves. Our team has firsthand experience navigating life abroad, managing personal and professional challenges, and securing everything from fully funded scholarships to business grants. We offer real-life insights and practical support to individuals and institutions alike.

​

Why Choose Us?
What sets us apart is our lived experience. We understand the journey because we’ve walked it ourselves. We know the language hurdles, the cultural nuances, and the balancing act of personal and professional life abroad. Our mission is to provide you with warm, genuine guidance that feels like a helping hand from someone who truly gets it.

​

In the end, pinQin is proudly supported by several government organizations, educational institutes, and startup support networks who believe in our mission to empower your journey, wherever it may lead.
