Investment thesis

The House Fund invests at the inception stage in UC Berkeley's top founders, partnering from 0 to 1 and beyond. It focuses exclusively on startups with at least one founder connected to UC Berkeley as an alumnus, faculty member, student, or affiliate. Since 2016 the firm has built a dedicated AI startup creation platform, bringing together leading AI researchers, hyperscale AI companies, startups, and research to establish Berkeley as a global center of AI activity, giving founders access to AI talent, insights, and research. The firm often prefers to be the first investor and likes to lead or co-lead seed rounds, though it will also participate within syndicates.
