Built to own. Here to last.
6/8's investment and ownership arm. We back exceptional founders building in human potential, culture, AI, consumer technology and connection.
The capital is rarely the constraint.
Funding is available. The harder part is finding backers who can help a product reach the right people after the round closes.
We take meaningful, long-term ownership in companies shaping human potential, culture and connection. Companies we back can draw on the wider 6/8 group across product, AI, creator distribution and media.
More than capital.
Companies we back can work with teams across the 6/8 group.
6/8 Creators
Creator-led campaigns, content systems and distribution through Influ3nca.
6/8 Media
Writing, interviews, film and original formats that help people understand why a company matters.

Occasional notes on what we are backing and learning. Founders raising should apply below.
Patience is the position. Everything else is a trade.
What earns a yes.
We would rather tell you quickly that this is not the right room than leave you in a holding pattern for a quarter.
- A product in the world
- Something shipped, a testnet, or paying users. An idea that has not yet met the market belongs somewhere earlier than this.
- A defensible cap table
- Holders you can name, terms you can account for, and no structure that requires an apology.
- A founder who can hold the room
- You will sit with creators who have genuine audiences. That only works if you can carry the story without a deck in front of you.
- A category with an audience
- One where creator distribution measurably moves demand. Not every good company operates in such a category, and we will tell you if yours does not.
- The means to act on attention
- Raising alongside distribution only compounds if you are resourced to meet the demand it creates.
How a decision is made.
We read it
You send the round and the context around it. We return a direct answer on fit, generally within a week, including when that answer is no.
We diligence it
Our own work, not a memo assembled from yours. You will sit with people from Creators and Media during it, because they are the ones who would go on to work with you.
We commit
Terms, then ownership. From that point the rest of the group is available to you, and we consider that part of what we paid for rather than a favour.
Licensed rails close it
Anything that becomes a transaction is executed through regulated partners. It is not executed through us.
Separately from all of this, 6/8 runs a foundation. See what it funds.
