About Arash Ferdowsi

Arash Ferdowsi is the co-founder and former CTO of Dropbox (2007–2016) who now serves as a visiting partner at Pear VC and operates as a prolific angel investor with over 80 portfolio companies. His investment thesis targets pre-seed and seed stages, concentrating 33% on AI/ML, 25% on developer tools, and 17% on security, primarily within the United States. He typically writes checks between $50,000 and $200,000, often acting as an early participant in rounds rather than a lead investor. Notable portfolio companies include the unicorn Anysphere (creator of Cursor), Speak, and Warp, alongside investments in Unify and Salvy.

While he maintains a strong presence in the San Francisco Bay Area, some profiles list his current location as New York, reflecting his active engagement across both tech hubs.
