Frequently asked questions
How does 8i Ventures structure its investments?
8i Ventures deploys capital through four distinct channels: early-stage primary rounds, seed investments, direct secondaries, and co-investments alongside other sponsors. This design lets the firm participate in both founder-led fundraising and structured acquisitions of existing stakes from other shareholders.
What stage does 8i Ventures typically target?
The mandate concentrates on the earliest phases of the company lifecycle: seed and start-up. The secondary capability adds an additional entry point for earlier-stage companies by acquiring positions from existing stockholders, which can include stakes in businesses that have not yet reached growth-stage scale.
