Bringing communities together is in our DNA
Community is one of our core values and we work hard to build meaningful programs that bring founders, investors, executives, and communities at large together.

Pear Dorm
We know that students make great founders and investors. So we created student-specific programs to build the next wave of category-defining companies. Our Garage and Fellowship programs equip current students with the skills and resources needed to launch them towards their goals.
Female Founder Circles
An intimate founder circle of current or aspiring female engineering entrepreneurs, guided by successful female founders, operating leaders, and investors. Founders meet weekly for intimate fireside chats and informative, tactical workshops with visionary speakers and the Pear team.


Persian Founder Circles
An intimate founder circle of Iranian engineers and entrepreneurs, guided by successful Iranian leaders across industries. We are cultivating the next generation of Iranian Founders.
