Hi. I’m a young and learning entrepreneur from the US, TX to be exact, and I just stumbled upon the Pioneers. I must say that I am blown away by the Youth Investment Fund proposal. It seems so simple yet the potential impact this will have for you guys is incredible. I am excited for you! Wish I was around that energy!
