AI
Artificial Intelligence comprises computer systems designed to perform tasks that would otherwise require human intelligence.
Specifically this includes Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Generative algorithms, Intelligent Process Automation, Robotics, and Knowledge and Reasoning systems.
We invest in applications, tooling and infrastructure that enables the advancement and utilization of Artificial Intelligence.
How We Invest How We Help FoundersPear perspectives
Here are some of the things we’re interested in, but there are far more than what we’ve shared on this page. If you’re building something cool, we want to hear from you, regardless of whether it’s listed here or not.

Pear is, in my humble opinion, the most extraordinary early-stage investment firm ever created. The secret of their success is their completely founder-first ethos.
The difference with Pear is that even after several rounds of funding, they continue to work with us and add value.
Whether it’s fundraising prep, investor intros, or hiring the extended Pear team has always been there when we had an operational problem to solve.
