About Pear Ventures

Pear VC began as Pejman Mar Ventures in 2013. The firm was founded by Pejman Nozad and Mar Hershenson with a goal in mind to build a VC firm that truly helps founders. As an angel investor, Pejman recognized the opportunity to build a firm where founder support came first.

Pear invests in early-stage companies at the pre-seed and seed stages. In just under a decade, Pear has already yielded seven companies valued over $1B, three public companies, and many more legendary companies in the making. Some of the notable success stories to date include DoorDash, Gusto, Guardant Health, Senti Bio, Branch, Viz.ai and Aurora Solar.

 

Pear continues to grow rapidly, with a team of 20+ company builders and industry experts. We aim to be the best early-stage investors in the world. We have a mission to take risks on very early-stage startups, to relentlessly seek out truly exceptional founders, and to partner with them to build iconic companies. We help our founders find product-market fit, craft a tailored go-to-market strategy, recruit their earliest and most critical hires, and fundraise successfully. The best is yet to come!
