Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
8-Bit Capital is a high-conviction investor in inception-stage startups, with a focus on AI, cybersecurity, and fintech. As co-founder Jonathan Abrams has stated: "What we invest in is software. We're not investing in biotech or mattresses or coffee or spaceships. Software that connects people or businesses in new ways is what Kent and I are really passionate about." The firm backs early-stage software companies that leverage network effects, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise technologies, writing initial checks typically up to $1 million and deploying a 50/50 fund construction split between new investments and follow-on reserves.
Notable quotes
“What we invest in is software. We're not investing in biotech or mattresses or coffee or spaceships. Software that connects people or businesses in new ways is what Kent and I are really passionate about.”
“The best companies, or the most successful ones, still haven't exited. That's the crazy thing about doing angel investing or venture capital — the early exits can be good but the real winners take a long time.”
“Even though there's a lot of investors out there, we thought it did make sense for us to do this. Part of that may be because the venture capital 'value add' may be a little overhyped in the industry, and part may be that Kent and I are just good at it.”
