The rest of the 100 (in alphabetical order): Jeremy Fiance, House Fund

As a 24-year-old University of California (UC) Berkeley graduate, Jeremy Fiance set up his investment business, the $6m House Fund, in 2016 to help fund companies emerging out of the institution.

His view that many such startups were being overlooked by the Silicon Valley venturing ecosystem appears to have been confirmed – at the start of this year, Fiance announced he was raising $50m for a second fund.

The House Fund provides up to $100,000 in pre-seed funding and up to $250,000 for early-stage businesses. Among its investments is WeTravel, a travel booking software developer that was incubated at UC Berkeley and which raised $2m in a February 2018 seed round.

Another investment, Blockchain app marketplace Elph, founded by two UC Berkeley graduates, raised $875,000 in June this year in a funding round backed by the House Fund and cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase.
