NEW YORK—Pair Eyewear, a customizable eyeglasses brand for kids established upon a direct-to-consumer model late last year, has closed a $1 million seed round of funding, a spokeswoman confirmed to VMAIL. The investors included Bolt, Corigin Ventures, Outbound Ventures, Precursor Ventures.  Pair calls itself a “new children’s eyewear brand” that intends to offer “the high quality, affordable, and fun glasses your kids deserve,” according to the company’s website. In its “launch” announcement in August, Pair said it offers five base frame shapes for children ages six to 14 and a choice of up to 10 colored interchangeable top frames per style.

The overlays snap on magnetically and can be easily swapped. With its direct-to-consumer model, Pair said it can change a “stressful optometry shop trip into an exciting online experience.” The prices start at $115, including prescription lenses, according to the company.

The company was founded by Sophia Edelstein and Nathan Kondamuri, who were undergraduate students at Stanford at the time, and then they brought on board Lee Zaro to become head of product, a position Zaro previously held at Warby Parker.

Pair also offers "A Pair, For a Pair" program under which it will donate a pair of glasses to a child in need for each base frame sold, which is achieved via its partnership with EYElliance.
