Pioneer’s goal is to spot important trends in its areas of expertise, one or two years before others, and to seek out entrepreneurs with similar vision operating in sub-sectors experiencing potentially beneficial change. Pioneer’s history demonstrates consistent achievement of this goal, and the Pioneer partners’ skills and professional networks give them an advantage over single country or pan-European generalists. As a result Pioneer is able to work with management and support companies in distinctive and often unique ways.
