Overview
PearX is the cohort program of Pear VC, the seed firm founded by Pejman Nozad and Mar Hershenson whose track record includes seed checks into DoorDash, Gusto and Guardant Health. Unlike volume accelerators, PearX runs tiny batches with substantial checks and heavy partner involvement — closer to a seed round with a program attached than a classic accelerator.
