Pear VC x Harker Office Hours (PearX and Pear Prime)
Pear VC × Harker: Office Hours with Pear Partners 10/4/26
Building a startup? Interested in joining one as a founding engineer? Come meet the Pear team at our office in SF or over zoom if you're not local.
Pear has deep roots in the Harker community. Three of our partners are Harker alumni: Ajay Kamat, Isaac Madan, and Eddie Eltoukhy. We’ve also backed Harker alumni behind DoorDash, Convey AI, Nightfall AI, and many other companies.
We’d love to meet more founders and builders from the community at the Pear Studio in San Francisco. We’re hosting dedicated office hours where Harker alumni can skip the standard application and go straight to an interview with Pear partners for PearX or Pear Prime. Just sign up for office hours to get started.
Two ways to build with Pear:
PearX: Build your company. Pear’s 12-week accelerator for pre-seed founders invests $500K–$2M per company. Work closely with Pear partners to find your first customers, recruit your early team, and prepare for your next fundraise. Early ideas and solo founders are welcome. PearX has backed several unicorns and fast growing AI companies. 90% of PearX companies go on to raise funding from institutional investors. Learn more about PearX.
Pear Prime: Join a startup as a founding engineer. Designed for exceptional technical new grads, Pear Prime connects you with founders across Pear’s portfolio and helps you find the right fit, with individual support from introductions through offer negotiations. Prime members have joined companies including OpenAI, Google, and Sierra, as well as startups such as Vals AI, Felix, and Cardless.
Whether you’re working on your first idea or looking for a startup where you can make an impact early, we’d love to hear what you have in mind. Use the conversation to share your interests, ask questions, and explore which program could be right for you.
Open exclusively to Harker alumni. Register below to meet with the Pear team.
