🛠️ If you’re a builder who wants to create AI tools to support the innovators and pioneers behind some of the most impactful climate technologies, come join us! 📈 We’ve been rapidly ramping revenue since our launch in February. 🙋 We are founded by repeat founders with experience from MIT, Dropbox, and Twitter who are passionate about climate and creating a supportive, growth environment based on the fundamentals of Radical Candor. Ask us about our culture: toms, laps, feedback, and decision journals! 🌍 We are building at the early intersection of AI, LLMs, and climate.

# What is Pioneer

Pioneer takes the pain out of the government application process. We are a team of AI-powered experts trained to win grants, contracts, loans, and tax credits for climate tech companies.

## Our Thesis There are hundreds of billions in government funding that are designed for pioneering tech companies to catalyze research and deployment, that will benefit us all. These incentives are divided between dozens of sources at the federal, state, and local levels. Resource-strapped companies cannot spend the time and resources needed to apply and win even a fraction of these funds. With a team of AI-powered experts, we can help these companies win more government funding in less time.

## How we Hire We believe in hiring for strengths, and not lack of weaknesses. We are growing a team of superheroes at Pioneer, where every person has something unique to contribute. If you’re a team player who wants to co-create a more innovative future, join us. ✨
