About Event

​G-Fellows is excited to host Harris Stolzenberg, Partner at Pear VC

​Harris Stolzenberg is a Partner at Pear. Based in Boston, he is focused on making Pear the go-to early stage firm on the East Coast. He thrives when working alongside ambitious founders at the very earliest stages, rolling up his sleeves to help turn bold ideas into enduring companies. Harris Stolzenberg returns to Pear as a partner after previously working at Pear as an associate. He touched many different parts of the Pear ecosystem before this full circle transition. After a quick stint in investment banking, he joined Pando, a Pear portfolio company. He later caught the founder bug and left to start his own Pear-backed startup. Originally from South Florida, Harris headed north to attend MIT where he was a dual-sport athlete in lacrosse and football. After living in both San Francisco and New York, he chose to plant roots in Boston.
