an investment holding company
AI changes everything.
88 Ventures builds, owns and invests in companies for the AI era, from businesses we run ourselves to stakes in category leaders like Stripe and Zetwerk. Founded by Nitin Mahajan.
our thesis, in one breath
Software that is not differentiated by data or distribution will struggle to become a venture-scale business, or even a sustainable one.
So we put our capital and our time behind three ideas.
01
AI services
The slope of automation gets steeper every quarter. Services businesses rebuilt around AI ride that curve.
02
Data moats
Businesses that start with proprietary data, or are systematically building toward it.
03
Network effects
Led by distribution first. Every new customer makes the product better for the next one.
