The House Fund

The House Fund is a pre-seed and early-stage venture capital fund focused on the boldest Berkeley startups.

Cal has some of the most brilliant minds and daring businesses in the world. Tesla. Apple. Intel. But it has never had a place to unite its entrepreneurs, until now.

We started in 2016, with investments in 100+ startups, including 15+ exits. Over 100 firms have follow-on invested $5B+ in our startups. The House Fund has become a thriving ecosystem for the boldest Berkeley startups to grow. Our Cal roots run deep. The House Fund’s Founding Partners have been building the Berkeley startup community since 2010. Our four Part-Time Alumni Partners have founded companies with combined exits over $1 Billion. Our six Faculty Partners are among the world's leading AI experts.
