About This Fund
Homebrew Ventures V is the fifth fund in the Homebrew venture capital fund series, managed by Burlingame, California-based Homebrew, an early-stage seed venture capital firm co-founded by Hunter Walk and Satya Patel. The fund targets a raise of $50 million, consistent with Homebrew's long-standing strategy of operating lean, concentrated investment vehicles focused on seed and Series A stage companies. The firm filed notice of the fundraise with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in early 2024.
Homebrew focuses on pre-product and early product-stage technology companies across categories including consumer technology, enterprise software, and platforms serving the future of work. The firm writes initial checks typically ranging from $100,000 to $500,000 and supports its portfolio companies through concentrated, founder-aligned engagement. Homebrew's small fund size is intentional — the strategy prioritizes meaningful ownership positions and sustained portfolio support over volume. The fund is actively investing, with portfolio companies including Thread AI (Series A, June 2025).
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Burlingame, California, Homebrew has backed over 60 companies across its five-fund series, with portfolio companies raising significant follow-on capital from tier-one growth investors. The firm maintains a track record of identifying breakout companies at the pre-seed and seed stage across the technology sector. Homebrew Ventures V continues this approach with a lean target size enabling the team to maintain high ownership positions and dedicated engagement with each founding team. The fund operates from the San Francisco Bay Area with a focus on US-based technology ventures.
