Investment thesis
Launch House is an early-stage, founder-led fund focused on backing highly driven founders from any background. Beyond capital, the firm offers community and hands-on support aimed at helping founders gain maximum attention for their products. The team draws on years of experience building and advising well-known brands and product launches in tech, and has worked with thousands of founders to help them navigate difficult challenges. The emphasis is on early-stage companies and founder support rather than a specific sector focus.

Cherubic Ventures is known for investing before a startup even launches or reaches product-market fit, often as the first institutional investor, while also setting aside half of its latest fund for follow-on support all the way through pre-IPO; it was also one of the first venture firms to operate as a solo general partner and has grown into one of the largest funds run that way. Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
