What clients say

From the operators we work with

  • Their platform systematizes venture building; rather than relying on subjective advice, 9point8 has helped me ground every decision in proven frameworks and benchmarked intelligence. In less than one year working with 9point8, The Paradox Lab has grown from an idea to a fully formed venture studio - the first in our region.

  • B'more Venture Studio has utilized 9point8's frameworks, benchmarks, and operational intelligence from pre-launch planning to an active portfolio generating cash flow and investor returns. Their full-stack capabilities and embedded workflows are the difference between arms-length support and successful execution.

  • This platform is imperative to my role - to my ability to build relationships with the companies we evaluate, show them real value, and establish trust. It has been absolutely critical.
