Pejman & Mar will hear 5 teams pitch their ideas virtually via Zoom the afternoon of Thursday, June 30th. You can be based anywhere (our last cohort had companies based in San Francisco, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Austin, and New York). If you’re interested, follow these steps:
Pear is a VC firm focused on pre-seed and seed investments with an impressive track record. Pear has partnered early with startups now worth over $100 Billion, including Doordash, Branch, Guardant Health, Aurora Solar, Frubana, Vanta, Affinity, and Gusto.
Our Pear S22 Accelerator deadline is coming up. It kicks off in July and will run for 3 months. No idea is too early to be considered.
Our small cohort approach is really more of a seed bootcamp. We tailor the program to systematically de-risk your business over three-months, culminating in a demo day to hundreds of top investors. Our team of experienced entrepreneurs collaborate with you to attain product market fit, close customers, recruit first hires, and raise a healthy seed round.
We keep the cohorts small to give each team attention. 88% of teams in the past three Accelerator cohorts raised a seed round from top tier investors such as A16Z, Forerunner, NEA, GV, and more. The S21 cohort pitched to over 1000 investors and raised an average of $3.6M seed funding.
Pear Accelerator alums include category-defining companies like Affinity ($120M total raised to date), **Viz.ai** ($251M total raised to date), Cardless ($50M raised to date), Xilis ($73M total raised to date), Nova ($69M total raised to date), and many more.
Pear’s W22 cohort on Demo Day where they pitched virtually to top Investors.
In addition to pitching virtually, the W22 cohort also had the chance to meet top investors in person. This was our first in-person meetup since the beginning of the pandemic.
We are looking for founders building novel solutions to massive problems across industries. ****
