Pair Eyewear: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Pair Eyewear makes wearing prescription and nonprescription glasses and sunglasses exciting for children. Pair believes glasses for children can be more than a static medical device. Glasses can be a canvas on which children express their evolving interests and growing personalities. Through an e-commerce platform, Pair is redesigning the glasses experience, making it engaging for children and painless for parents. Pair Eyewear was founded in 2017 by Nathan Kondamuri and Sophia Edelstein and is based in New York, United States.

About FundedIQ's Pair Eyewear Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Pair Eyewear is left off this page rather than filled in.
