A Top Ten Ranked, Tax-Free, High-Potential, Early-Stage, Technology Investment Fund
“One of the Top 10 Funds”
THE 4 TOP REASONS PEOPLE ARE INVESTING IN THE PEARL FUND
SIGNIFICANT TAX-FREE RETURNS BEGIN AFTER FIVE YEARS
We use two separate tax incentive programs, the Opportunity Zone (OZ) program and the Qualified Small Business Stock incentive (QSBS), to yield tax-free returns in as little as 5 years. See our tax benefits page for more detail.
INVEST IN A TAX-FREE FUND THAT DELIVERS MEASURABLE LONG-TERM, ECONOMIC IMPACT
We drive long-term, life-changing, and measurable economic impact in our own country. The Pearl Fund invests in high-potential, fast-growing, early-stage startups. These companies grow rapidly and create long-term, well-paying, permanent jobs (not temporary construction jobs). Employees live and spend near where they work, revitalizing the communities where they are based.
A CHANCE TO INVEST IN A FORBES RANKED TOP 1% OF ALL OZ INVESTMENT FUNDS IN THE COUNTRY
Our individual investors have the opportunity to invest in a Forbes-ranked top 10 Opportunity Zone fund led by the country’s most well-known OZ Venture Capital fund manager. See our leadership page for more detail.
ACCESS TO HIGH-PERFORMANCE EARLY-STAGE INVESTMENT DEAL FLOW THAT OTHERS NEVER SEE
The Pearl Fund is the nation’s first and the best known OZ VC investment fund, the industry leader in Opportunity Zone business investing. This means startups, state and local economic directors, OZ organizations, and legal and accounting firms send potential deal flow to us almost daily.
About The Pearl Funds
Pearls are the only gem that is made by living creatures. They are found in about one of every 10,000 oysters, and of those only a small percentage achieve the size, shape and color desirable to the jewelry industry. Like many successful startups, they start with an irritant and become something rare and valuable, and they are difficult to find.
We are constantly searching through the many, many early-stage technology startups to find the gems. We then invest in a few and stay involved through thick and thin to help them grow into successes.
We don’t invest in hundreds hoping one will make it, we don’t invest hoping one is a unicorn to make up for all the poor bets, and we don’t invest in fake-it-until-they-make-it companies.
We invest in technology startups that already have a working product and early traction and that are led by founders with at least two decades of industry experience. We like that they worry about cash flow, dilution, and becoming profitable as soon as possible. In time, these become great acquisition candidates which will return at least 10x … even 50X tax free to our investors.
We are a boutique. Instead of raising the biggest fund possible to maximize our fees and make hundreds of bets, we stay small, limit the number of investments and investors in each fund, and keep our team size small, expenses low and deal quality high.
