Every founder we back is supported by a team of former founders and operators, from day one through every milestone that follows.
Collectively, Pear partners have founded 13 companies. When we weigh in on your product, pricing, or first hires, it’s grounded in having actually done it ourselves.
Pear partners bring deep vertical expertise across vertical AI, AI infrastructure, B2B, biotech, consumer, deep tech, fintech, healthcare, and robotics serving as thought partners who know your industry inside and out.
We partner with founders early, often before there’s a product or customers. We have backed DoorDash, Cognition, Listen Labs, Vanta, Forus, Gusto, Guardant Health, and many others.
Every founder gets a dedicated team of operators embedded across recruiting, GTM, fundraising, and marketing & PR putting their expertise to work for you.
Pear Studio is the home base for our community of founders working across 14,000+ square feet of office space in San Francisco and Menlo Park. More than a physical space, Pear Studio makes building less lonely.
At Pear, we value honesty, collaboration, a can-do mentality, and giving before we ask for anything in return. That culture extends to our founder community through year-round programming, from fireside chats to dinners and workshops.
Our LPs are primarily nonprofit institutions, including university endowments, foundations, children’s hospitals, and firefighter retirement funds. When our founders succeed, that success ultimately helps support important causes.
