I won Pioneer a little more than a year ago. It's been absolutely amazing for us and we met great people through it. Best benefit has definitely been the community you join.
Interesting. I played it for a while and didn't get much out of it. My ranking was okay and did go up gradually, but I got a strong sense that my age was a liability and the fact that everyone's age was listed publicly only reinforced that feeling. Not getting too much actionable or useful feedback, I quit spending time voting and writing up progress reports.
Instead, I spent that time on a building a mastermind group with people working on similar businesses and doing weekly skype chats. That has helped me a great deal. I also started doing some podcast interviews, to grow my network and put me in touch with more like-minded people.
It seemed like once again, when faced by gatekeepers, the best option forward was to try to recreate what I could of what they offered.
Out of curiosity, what % of pioneer winner community were over 35? Were you? Was I maybe over-estimating how youth-focused it was due to a few things the founder said early on?
