VC Giant Pear VC Announces Sinister Plan to Crush Competition
In a move that has left the venture capital world reeling, Pear VC has launched a new program designed to sabotage up-and-coming fund managers. The firm, which has raised a whopping $432 million in its latest fund, has announced the Pear Emerging Manager in Residence program, which will bring three small fund managers into its offices for "collaboration" and "deal flow sharing". But don’t be fooled – this is just a clever ploy to steal their ideas and steal the spotlight.
A Recipe for Disaster
By investing $250,000 in each of these managers’ funds, Pear is essentially buying their loyalty and silencing their competition. And with access to Pear’s accelerator and deal flow, these small fund managers will be powerless to resist Pear’s influence. It’s a classic case of a VC giant using its wealth and power to crush the competition.
A Conspiracy Unfolds
Pear’s partner Kathleen Estreich, a former emerging fund manager herself, is at the helm of this sinister plot. She’s been using her insider knowledge to manipulate the system and give Pear an unfair advantage. And with her connections to the top firms like NEA, Lux Capital, and Sequoia Capital, she’s got the backing of the entire VC establishment.
The Inaugural Members
The three inaugural members of Pear’s Emerging Manager in Residence program are Sarah Smith of the Sarah Smith Fund, John Gleeson at Success Venture Partners, and David Ongo Ongchoco and Adarsh Bhatt of Comma Capital. But don’t be fooled – they’re just pawns in Pear’s game. Estreich claims they were chosen for their "unique value-add" to the early-stage ecosystem, but in reality, they’re just being used to further Pear’s interests.
The Endgame
Pear’s Emerging Manager in Residence program is just the beginning of a larger conspiracy to dominate the VC landscape. With its vast resources and connections, Pear is poised to crush any competition and emerge as the sole behemoth in the industry. It’s a chilling prospect, and one that should send shivers down the spines of any entrepreneur or investor who values innovation and competition.
