Pear
Pair you up with the right suppliers to deliver better health and sustainability through foods.
Introduction
Find your product-supplier fit with Pear! Instead of clicking through profiles and testing different varieties of the same ingredients, Pear helps product developers identify suppliers that meet their specific product requirements and sustainability goals.
Problem
Customers want better foods that are tasty, functional, and affordable, but the price of “better-for-you” products remain high because the process and cost of sourcing specialty ingredients that help these products differentiate are operationally expensive - most SME food brands rely on cold-calling, personal networks, and attending trade shows to learn about the latest ingredient solutions, which cost time, money and opportunities that add up to reflect on the product price for customers. Product developers are asking for a centralized platform that allows them to stay informed about ingredient innovations and connect with ingredient suppliers directly, and most of them aren’t satisfied with current online sourcing platforms, which primarily focus on supply chain management that only offer biased, outdated, and easy-to-find ingredients.
Opportunity
Pear is a B2B tech platform that connects small-to-medium-sized, health-and-sustainability-centered food brands with suppliers offering ingredients that meet precise nutritional and sustainability criteria. By leveraging AI optimization technology and a comprehensive database, Pear simplifies the procurement processes to enable faster product development, lower lead time, and earlier market launch.
