Portfolio

Products and ventures we've built

A selection of the products, ventures and investments across the 8 Connect portfolio. Each is labelled so you can see exactly how we're involved — with clear context on the capability it demonstrates.

How to read this

Clear labels, no exaggeration

We build as well as advise, so our involvement varies from item to item. Rather than blur that distinction, every entry below carries a relationship label. Here is what each one means.

Owned product

Built and operated by 8 Connect.

Venture-building example

Taken from idea to launch with our teams.

Investment

Backed to support the founders and category.

Live status, links and any reach figures for these items are being confirmed before launch. We would rather show accurate context than overstate a result.
