Great to see a Velocity Venture Fund winner (Winter 2011), from the University of Waterloo getting up there. Congrats to the team - (come home to visit velocity!)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I am considering a move towards Pair myself. I am away from my girlfriend for the next five months or so and up to now we are only using Facebook messages, and I have growing concerns over privacy (Not that a move to Pair will solve them). But what is pushing me most towards Pair is that sometimes I go to Facebook just to message my girlfriend and it sort of drag me towards answering other messages and notifications…

Lots of potential in related verticles. Let the copy cats begin.
This discriminates against love triangles.
Seeing as pair.com has been around as a very popular/huge web host since the mid 90's, they're never going to get their titular domain...
First movers in a space they have somewhat created. Would have loved it a couple of years ago. Lots of potential in related verticles. Let the copy cats begin.

But that's a VC's job. To take risks and hope for the next big thing. I don't see it here. Maybe this team, but not this idea.
Can someone explain the opportunity in Pair? I tried it for a few days with my wife. Cool concept and thumb kiss was cute but we later reverted to iMessage just cause its more convenient and accessible. What 'pain point' does pair solve?
Never having tried Pair, I can't form an educated opinion but I'm assuming it's sort of like a Google+ circle with a cardinality of 2. Given the behavior I just described, there might be more of a need for "circles" of 2 than just about any other particular number.
Now take your "circle of 2", throw in some cutesy features catering to the nature of that circle, and I can see why their product is useful to a lot of people.
Probably not that useful in parts of Utah, but elsewhere on the globe, sure.
