Gold House Ventures
About Gold House Ventures
Gold House, a nonprofit collective, announced the Gold House Ventures fund in April 2022 with $30 million from a group of limited partners. Sources disagree on the founding year: Caplight lists 2017 and PitchBook lists 2019. The fund grew out of the nonprofit's accelerator, which began in 2019. Crunchbase reports a second fund, Gold House Ventures Fund II, at about $13.3 million in June 2026. Bing Chen is listed as co-founder and CEO. Eric Feng, a co-founder and general partner, previously served as founding CTO of Hulu and Flipboard. Megan Ruan is a general partner.
The firm describes itself as sector-agnostic, and its sector lists include AI alongside SaaS, consumer and fintech. Its portfolio page describes Corgi as an AI insurance company and Datasaur as a provider of text and audio data labeling for NLP and LLM projects. Shade offers AI-powered visual file search, and SkyLink offers AI travel management. One profile reports that the firm led Corgi's January 2026 investment. In May 2026 it took part in the $7 million seed round for Clouted, a Los Angeles company that uses AI to distribute short-form video, led by Slow Ventures. At its 2022 launch, the firm said it invests alongside other venture firms rather than competing to lead rounds, so its role varies by deal.
Third-party profiles list the firm at pre-seed, seed and Series A. VCSheet gives an average check of $100K to $1M. WaveUp lists $100K to $500K and $500K to $1M ranges. The firm has not published these figures itself.
