It's an accelerator. Where products or projects can earn points for a spot on the top 50 of the leaderboard to earn a spot to be reviewed by their team and picked to get benefits of being a Pioneer member with all their benefits, trip to silicon valley, and an option for $20,000 (gotta fork over 2% equity stake).
I received an email with invite to "Fast Track" where I don't need to do any of the weekly updates & other tasks to earn points for a spot on the leaderboard. Just add my product, make a 1 minute video, and boom I get reviewed.
Just curious if this is marketing/promoting stunt? Daniel Gross is a co-founder, he was a partner at Y Combinator.
Anyone heard of this before?
