An 8X Ventures practice
We run direct co-investment programmes for family offices, backing growth-stage technology companies in advanced manufacturing, electronics and energy across the US, Europe and Asia.
Our approach
Your family office commits and agrees terms with each company directly. No blind pool, no fund commitment.
Allocations can be shared with a closed circle of co-investors on identical terms, opening the door to larger allocations and stronger rights.
A portfolio spread across sectors and geographies, built to limit downside risk.
What we invest in
Sovereignty rules create durable demand for domestically built hardware serving defence, telecom and industrial buyers.
Manufacturing is relocating faster than in a generation, and every new factory needs precision automation.
Governments have committed capital to new energy infrastructure, giving early movers a long runway.
How we work
Sectors, stages, cheque sizes and how decisions are made.
Through lead VCs, university spin-outs, bankers and secondary platforms.
We screen and diligence each company; you approve every investment.
Regular reporting on every holding, and a planned route to IPO or acquisition.
