Fundraising - Pear VC

Fundraising

We help our founders run a smooth fundraising process. We partner with you to position your company for success and we leverage our network to gain as much interest as possible.

How we help

Build the ultimate pitch deck

At pre-seed, storytelling is extremely important. We help you showcase that you know your customer, know your market, that you’re the right team, that you can get things done, and that you know the risks and can face them head on.

Refine your pitch skills

We provide public speaking workshops, 1:1 training, and a lot of feedback to help you put your best foot forward.

Determine investors to target

We’ll consult with you on a 1:1 basis about what investors you should target in the fundraising process. We take a number of factors into account like specialty areas, what investors might make a strong addition to your board, and more.

Make introductions

We’ll leverage our network to gain as much interest for you as possible.

Prepare you for investor meetings

Prior to any investor meeting, we’ll help you nail your deck and get as prepared as possible so you walk into the room feeling confident.

Track progress

After each and every investor meeting, we’ll do a post mortem to understand what went right, wrong, and iterate so that your pitch gets better and better as you go through the process.
