I’ve loved Lemon Boy for years

Pears has been stuck in my head for a couple of months

Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy for obvious reasons

The Good Omens theme song because sometimes I just like to hold my cat and waltz around the apartment while it plays 😭💕

And finally, Pano Corado because it’s such a folk queer anthem (not to mention the fact that Tanxugueiras are iconic and Eurovision 2022 was robbed of their talent)

Pear, whose seed-stage bets are followed closely, just raised $160 million for its third fund

Pear, a six-year-old, Palo Alto, Ca.-based seed-stage firm whose bets on nascent startups are closely watched by early stage investors, has closed on $160 million in capital commitments from a wide array of backers, including a previous investor, the University of Chicago.

It’s more than twice the $75 million that the firm raised for its second fund in 2016 and triple the $50 million it raised for its debut fund back in 2013. We gather the firm had to turn down quite a few interested parties, too, in order to stick to what it’s most comfortable doing and not start writing bigger checks to more mature companies.

A little less than half of its current portfolio companies were launched by college students or recent grads, many of them at nearby Stanford but also at a growing number of other top universities, including UC Berkeley, Harvard and M.I.T. Pear also invests roughly 55 percent of its capital in founders who’ve logged some time in the working world, including at Uber, Facebook and Google.

We talked last week with the firm’s cofounders, Mar Hershenson and Pejman Nozad, who’ve known one another for 20 years. Nozad famously sold rugs to tech millionaires before becoming a full-time investor; one early bet was on the smartphone company Danger, which sold to Microsoft in 2008 for $500 million. Danger was cofounded by the husband of Hershenson, who is herself a three-time entrepreneur who also received backing from Nozad while growing an intellectual property startup called Sabio Labs. (It was later acquired by a now defunct software company called Magma Design Automation.)

The pair said that little will change with this new, far bigger fund. The goal remains to be the “best partner on the ground for the entrepreneur from ground zero,” said Hershenson, meaning Pear doesn’t need to see revenue or even customers so much as to trust a team and its vision.

Asked more specifically what it is that they look for, Nozad likened it to understanding “really good wine; it’s hard to explain it in words but once you have it, you know it.” Adds Hershenson, “We spend a lot of time with founders and a lot of it comes down to their commitment, how mission driven they are, and their ability to attract talent. You want a captain of the ship, someone who leaves last and who wants to build a product for many people.”

Certainly, the two have plenty of opportunities to meet founders, opportunities that they’ve created for the firm by focusing — to an extreme degree — on building community. In the last year, alone, Pear has hosted roughly 100 events, from a speaker series where it brings in investors and CEOs to speak to founders and students, to workshops, bootcamps, pitch nights, CEO dinners, hackathons and demo days. (Hershenson says one of her favorite evenings every quarter are dinners she separately has with other women engineers.)

Hershenson and Nozad are also building an organization to help scale their work — as well as to outlast the two of them, they hope. Most notably, Pear now features three other partners: Ajay Kamat, who focuses on consumer startups and previously founded the of Pear-funded startup Wedding Party, which he sold to Instacart; Ian Taylor, who heads up Pear’s “Dorm” programs and concentrates on supporting student founders; and Nils Bunger, who previously founded the desktop virtualization company Pano Logic before founding MobileSpan, a maker of enterprise file-sharing software that he sold to Dropbox. Bunger focuses, unsurprisingly, on helping Pear to uncover promising business-to-business startups.

The approach seems to be working. Among dozens of other startups, Pear was early to a number of big and growing companies, including the now publicly traded blood diagnostics company Guardant Health; the delivery company DoorDash; the HR and payroll software company Gusto; and Branch, a company that helps brands drive sales through its linking infrastructure.

Some of its newer bets seem interesting, too. Among these is Nightfall, a company whose tech scans structured and unstructured data in hundreds of apps for sensitive information that it then acts to secure, and which launched publicly last month with $20.3 million in funding. Another is ixLayer, a young San Francisco-based infrastructure startup promising to make it easier for its customers to offer home DNA tests by providing them all the services they need, from a custom storefront marketplace and patient portal, to EHR data access, and payment handling.

Indeed, like another six-year-old firm that we wrote about yesterday called SignalFire, Pear isn’t focused on themes so much as on founders, no matter where they might find them.

As Nozad told us last week during our call, “We’re not a  research-driven fund. We think founders know better than us, so we want to see future through their eyes.”

If you’re interested in learning more about Pear and its portfolio companies, the team interviewed roughly a dozen of their founders for the video below. Among those to sing the firm’s praises and explain how Pear has helped them: Tony Xu of DoorDash and Shubham Goel and Ray Zhou of the relationship intelligence platform Affinity.

Best Films of 2018

In retrospect my 2018 has been a pretty good cinema year, with top films from Cannes 2017 and 2018 as well as a strong line-up of American films from the Oscars 2018 that made it to our screens first this year. Honestly, this year, my top 20 is only made of excellent films in my book, and the top 5 consists in absolute top movies that would have be strong number ones on weaker years. I don’t belong to the cinephile crowd complaining about the death of cinema, on the contrary I see there many reasons to feel optimistic about our time. The films on this list are far from representing all that world cinema had to offer this year (more experimental works are to be found in the margins), but still, what a diversity of genres, forms and storytelling techniques! Two black-and-white masterpieces, a stop-motion animated delight, some genre films defying classification… The medium is well alive and in constant evolution.

The polarizing issue of the year has undoubtedly been the rise of streaming services, with Netflix finally producing original films of the highest quality, with some of the world’s best filmmakers. As an old-school cinephile, I will always say that ”film is best in a movie theatre”, but the reality today is that many of the best films are not even reaching the cinemas in Sweden anymore, and when they do they stay for such a short time that even a frequent moviegoer like me doesn’t always have the chance to catch them. So between waiting six months for eventually not even seeing the new Coen film, and watching it on release two months after its festival premiere, what is worse? This year’s Netflix line-up has been especially impressive, from Roma to Buster Scruggs, from Private Life to Annihilation, and with the feat of letting the last Orson Welles finally movie see the light of day (completed by an exceptionally good documentary, what an amazing cinephile treat).

During the last years, some of the most exciting films has been found within genre cinema and 2018 was a good example of the current boom of qualitative genre. From the stunning surreal feast of Bertrand Mandico’s feature debut The Wild Boys (Les garçons sauvages) to Panos Cosmatos’ Nic Cage extravaganza Mandy, from Ali Abbasi’s Swedish troll hit Border (Gräns) to Ari Aster’s masterful Hereditary, the most imaginative works were coming from filmmakers daring to mix genres and influences to create their own new forms. Ans I still haven’t seen Suspiria… So yes, there is hope!

The list is based on the films I have been able to see this year, either on release in Sweden or in festivals. While some expected films didn’t make the cut (Loveless, Happy End), there are many films that I haven’t seen yet and that could have made it (I will try to catch up with them in 2019), especially: First Man, Suspiria, Annihilation, Sorry to Bother You, Lazzaro Felice, Wind River, Goliat, Amatörer, Utøya, Mektoub My Love, En guerre... As well as The Favourite, Three Faces, The Wild Pear Tree, Dogman, The House That Jack Built, that will be released in 2019.
