The firm provides investment and operational support to startups, leveraging the team's experience of having founded more than 13 companies.

The firm's operational support extends to hands-on assistance in recruiting, fundraising, go-to-market strategy, and public relations.

The team's own journeys include backgrounds ranging from an immigrant rug salesman to a graduate student.
Pear offers two primary programs for founders. The PearX accelerator is designed to help founders find product-market fit and build category-defining companies. Pear Studio provides dedicated office spaces for founders to work and build their companies.
