PearX is a 12-week accelerator program run by Pear VC that limits its cohorts to 20 startups. Unlike Y Combinator, PearX provides investments up to $2 million and keeps participants confidential until the demo day. The most recent event in San Francisco featured 16 startups.
Speridlabs introduced Mundus, a spatial foundational model for robotics and gaming that maintains geometric persistence. Meanwhile, Saia is developing an AI chip designed to run inference directly from flash storage. The company claims its hardware uses four times less power than Nvidia’s Jetson and plans to reach mass production by 2028.
Ren focuses on secure, automated voice systems that operate without human intervention. Veros, which currently manages $250 million in assets, uses AI to automate trust administration and is seeking a trust charter. Datum utilizes Geometric Fingerprint technology to index 3D design libraries, helping engineers automate product development.
The PearX program has previously supported companies such as Known, which uses voice AI for dating, and Andera, which secured $37 million in Series A funding from Lightspeed for its audit automation software.
