Investment thesis
The House believes in supporting exceptional talent from UC Berkeley and its alumni network, operating as a community-first fund rather than capital-first. They invest in unstoppable founders developing technologies of the future by consulting with leading researchers globally. Rather than chasing market hype, they conduct deep research to identify where technology is headed and support founders building that future. They emphasize customized venture capital with hand-selected startups and tailored support, rejecting batch-oriented approaches. A special focus on AI development at Berkeley positions the fund to support startups leveraging academic research and entrepreneurial innovation.
