Branch + Pear

Pear met Branch’s founders, Alex, Mada, and Mike, through Stanford Venture Studio. We quickly realized they were outliers and working on something special. We helped them recruit a freshman, Dmitry, who became Branch’s Founding Engineer.  Our team helped the founders whiteboard product ideas, and after several major product pivots, they landed upon deep linking. Branch now powers cross-channel growth and attribution for more than 50% of the top 200 apps. We served as active board members since day one, and we’re now board observers. We’ve worked closely with the Branch team during each fundraising round providing coaching and investor introductions.
