Summary

PearX is Pear VC's flagship 12-week pre-seed program, designed as an exclusive, small-batch experience for the most promising early-stage founders. Each cohort receives $250K–$2M in funding, over $1M in cloud credits, and hands-on partnership from experienced founders and operators.

All PearX companies get dedicated office space in Pear Studio SF — a 30,000 sq ft office space that's free for the first 9 months. The program emphasizes hands-on partnership over curriculum.

Program Edge

Small batch size means deep, personalized partner engagement. 9 months of free office space extends well beyond the program.

  • $250K–$2M in funding per company
  • Over $1M in cloud credits
  • 30,000 sq ft dedicated office space (free for 9 months)
  • Hands-on partnership from experienced operators

Best Fit
