Pioneering with Carnegie.png

As the Father of the American Steel Industry, the world’s first Billionaire and possibly the biggest Philanthropist of all times Andrew Carnegie was viewed as a Pioneer – one of the men who built America in the 1870s.


He is also well known for his quote "Pioneering Don’t Pay" - which seems odd as he was viewed as a Pioneer. So why say that – well it’s because he didn’t believe he Pioneered - he Perfected – which indeed is what most Innovation is.


Carnegie took a process developed in the UK by Lord Bessemer to produce steel and turned it into a mass scale commercial process.

In the technology age there are numerous Pioneers as they fit the definition well
