Pearce Fellows Showcase

Join us to meet the founders who are building tomorrow's most important companies — before they become household names! 🚀

The best investments often happen before Series A, when a founder is driven by a question, a conviction, and the courage to start. This philosophy was championed by John Pearce, the late co-founder of Underscore VC, who believed in backing people before their ideas took off.

The Pearce Summer Fellowship continues this legacy by providing early founders with flexible funding, hands-on mentorship, and a supportive community to help them accelerate their journey.

This summer, ten Pearce Fellows are innovating across seven companies, addressing challenges such as:

• Tackling fraud in commercial health insurance 🏥
• Reinventing assistive mobility ♿
• Building infrastructure for AI-driven commerce 🤖
• Rethinking the transition from design to production in factories 🏭

Each company is unique, but every founder shares one common trait: relentless drive. 💪

On August 12th, hear directly from these founders about their projects, their significance, and their future plans. This is your chance to get an early glimpse at companies that could redefine their industries!

Come meet the founders and be part of their journey from day zero! 🌍
