He thrives when working alongside ambitious founders at the very earliest stages, rolling up his sleeves to help turn bold ideas into enduring companies.
Harris returns to Pear as a partner after previously working at Pear as an associate. He touched many different parts of the Pear ecosystem before this full circle transition. After a quick stint in investment banking, he joined Pando, a Pear portfolio company. He later caught the founder bug and left to start his own Pear-backed startup.
Originally from South Florida, Harris headed north to attend MIT where he was a dual-sport athlete in lacrosse and football. After living in both San Francisco and New York, he chose to plant roots in Boston.
