The UC Berkeley-affiliated House Fund is seeking up to $50m for its second vehicle, after closing a $6m fund in 2016.

The House Fund, a venture capital firm focused on companies emerging from University of California (UC) Berkeley, is raising $50m for its second vehicle, TechCrunch reported on Friday, citing a regulatory filing.

Investors in the new vehicle have not been named, though UC contributed to the $6m first fund launched in 2016 through UC Ventures, an initiative that is set to invest $25m of the endowment into local funds for university-related businesses.

The filing dates from three months ago, though so far, the House Fund has not provided any updates on its fundraising efforts.

The House Fund provides up to $100,000 in pre-seed funding and up to $250,000 in early-stage capital.

It has disclosed investments in eight startups to date, most recently inverting in travel booking software provider WeTravel’s $2m seed round earlier this month. However, the firm also noted that it has dozens of additional, undisclosed investments – in line with its target of 50 deals.
