Our community is Pineapple

The foundation of Pineapple has always been our community. While many startups talk about how much their community means to them, for a networking tool like ours, community is the fundamental value of our whole platform. Without our community, we would simply be a blank canvas — albeit a really well-designed one!

Why the Guild

At the beginning of the year, we launched a major research project with our existing community. The ideas, feedback, and creative energy generated by these calls were invaluable in shaping the future of our company. We were amazed by the talent of these individuals and decided that we needed to do more with them. We wanted a more structured and meaningful way for our community and this generation as a whole to impact the platform we’re building for them, so today we are officially launching the Pineapple Guild — bringing together 15 of the most talented Gen-Z’s to help shape the future of professional networking.

How the Guild works

The Guild will be a think tank, which meets monthly to discuss the future of Pineapple + professional networking, they’ll get a courtside seat to our business, full disclosure on everything from what’s going well (to what’s not), and let them input with ideas on how we can improve all facets of Pineapple from Product to Marketing. We’ve chosen 12 superstars from our community to be the first members of the Pineapple Guild, and are extending the last 3 to any Gen-Z’s — as we think we would benefit from having people who are not already in the pineapple eco-system to provide different ideas and perspective.

We are honored to introduce the first cohort of the Pineapple Guild:
