Roots of the Cal
Knowledge Network.
Berkeley founders are some of the most talented people in the world.
We pooled together some of the top Cal business minds, started connecting them, and it turned into a thriving environment at The House: entrepreneurs, technologists, designers, operators, product and engineering leaders, venture investors, and corporate executives. The perfect environment for early ideas to get the expertise and resources they need to thrive.
We are building the next generation of AI technologies with AI@The House.

Startups present an incredible mechanism for translating academic research into the marketplace, and Berkeley is the perfect spot for entrepreneurs to access AI expertise. We’re creating an ecosystem for AI where fundamental theoretical advances, innovative algorithms, and efficient system implementations can be brought to bear on high-value problems that can support new, industry-defining businesses.
We envisioned a new engine for AI innovation that closely couples academia, startups, industry, and talent; everything needed to support the next wave of leading AI startups. Our professional and academic expertise spans across the full stack of AI — theory and statistics, computer vision, systems, robotics, security, algorithms, hardware, and more.
