Interesting idea, I like that Pioneer is looking for more than just startups (or tech in general). Obviously the $5k grant is too small to make this appealing for people in the U.S. who need money to pursue their ideas. BUT, of course, there's the entire rest of the world, where $5k can be stretched quite far. One hang up - is it necessary to say that Pioneer seeks "young" people? Does Pioneer have a preference for young people when determining who deserves an offer?
