About PILOT

Our mission is to every professional feel powerful at work, and we’re helping to level the playing field by getting more top-tier career development (including coaching & mentoring), to more employees, sooner in their careers. We’re a NYC-based startup with a 100% remote team and virtual business model. We’re democratizing career development to help employees, managers, executives and HR all find more success and satisfaction in the jobs they already have! 

PILOT supports HR Leaders by delivering virtual career development through a structured program of individual reflection, manager feedback, and live group coaching sessions. 

Unlike traditional offerings that are expensive, difficult to roll out, and reinforce employee helplessness, only PILOT offers a turnkey solution that’s affordable, quick to deploy, and fosters employee agency and ownership. 

In just six months, participants will advocate for themselves, create stronger connections with their colleagues, and develop a habit of self-improvement.

PILOT can be rolled out in just two weeks and we handle the communications, scheduling, operations, analytics, and nudging, enabling HR to play a more strategic role.
