A Different Kind of Startup Community in Silicon Valley: Meet Launch House and Its Venture Arm, House Capital
By Adam
Launch House was created to help founders take their ideas to the next level in Silicon Valley, which is no small feat these days. Thanks to founders Brett Goldstein, Michael Houck, and Jacob Peters, the company recently debuted another element of its enterprise. Known as House Capital, this multimillion-dollar fund is earmarked for early-stage companies that show immense promise to disrupt their market.
In addition to helping its members, who will be given priority to funding, the venture arm House Capital will be available to nonmembers who fit the criteria. (The founders of Launch House will also serve as the general partners for House Capital.) Learn more about this brash and innovative company and see where it plans to go in the future.
Target Companies
Launch House has largely built its name by investing in early-stage companies within its membership. The team has been diligent about gathering together some of the brightest minds in the industry.

As promised by the founders, the majority of those who received money were those who chose to become a member.

They may be known for their expertise in early-stage companies, but they’re not opposed to investing in external high-growth startups. The fit and the timing have to be right, but their interest will undoubtedly open the door for entrepreneurs. Goldstein has described the membership as a community for startup people. With all the gathering spaces the founders have built so far — whether a physical location in Los Angeles or a global chat room — the point is to invest in the ideas that show …read more
