88 Ventures

At 88 Ventures, we're driven by the vision of revolutionizing industries through artificial intelligence like no other. Our diverse team of domain experts, first principle problem solvers, and constant real-time skill development helps us to create solutions that drive results! While many celebrate burn rates, funds raised and the glamour of being in the press, we feel most successful businesses are based on unique customer insights and are often ‘boring’ in nature. For example: mailchimp, audiopen, tweethunter and many more. Value is created when teams are small and frugal. Our DNA is to incubate and invest in start-ups that are built on AI-first principles. That redefines the cost to build, cost of operations, and experiences that truly delight customers. In fact we are limiting the size of each product to be no more than 7-10 people. We actively discourage use of paid media till we find product market fit. The model is not for every idea and every founding team. This best suits ideas which have mid-size TAM, can be built at 10% of the cost it would have taken 3 years back, and are NOT winner-take-all situations. With this in mind, we are particularly excited about reimagining the sales & marketing tools, fintech, and sports-tech. Industries where we feel AI will have the biggest impact and delightful micro-SaaS solutions can be built. If you’re an entrepreneur looking for the perfect tools and guidance that will drive your venture to success, let's connect & explore how we can collaborate to drive meaningful impact & foster a digitally empowered world!
