About Pear VC
Pear VC is an early-stage venture capital firm that works with founders at the very beginning—before there’s a team, before there’s revenue, sometimes even before there’s a product. We’ve partnered with 10+ companies we’ve founded ourselves, and backed startups now worth over $50B - including 7 unicorns and 3 public companies in just 9 years.
Our team is made up of former founders and operators who know what it takes to go from idea → product → company.
Why This Fellowship is Different
This is not a traditional “internship.”
As our engineering fellow, you’ll be building tools, automations, and products that will be used by:
Our portfolio founders - helping them launch, grow, and scale faster.
Our investment and platform teams - making them more effective in supporting startups.
You’ll work side-by-side with early-stage founders, see how different startups operate, and understand the challenges they face. This is a chance to see the startup journey up close - and to decide if building your own company might be in your future.
What You’ll Do
Identify opportunities to save founders and investors time through better tools and automation.
Translate needs into simple, impactful workflows.
Build solutions that work with minimal maintenance overhead.
Choose the right approach: buy existing software, use low-code/no-code tools, or build from scratch.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a builder who is:
A sophomore or junior in computer science, engineering, or a related field.
Comfortable with at least one programming language (Python or JavaScript).
Curious about startups and enjoys learning about how companies grow from the ground up.
A creative problem solver who can work independently and ship quickly.
Excited to work in a fast-paced, small-team environment where your work will have immediate impact.
Able to spend ~10 hours per week working on Pear projects over the course of 6 months
Nice-to-Haves
Experience building internal tools, automation workflows, or founder resources.
Familiarity with React, Python, and/or APIs.
A knack for product thinking — designing with the end user in mind.
What You’ll Get Out of It
Direct exposure to dozens of startups across different industries.
The chance to ship real products that are used immediately by founders and teams.
Mentorship from experienced founders, engineers, and operators.
A front-row seat to the earliest stages of company building.
