Building a Legendary Legacy
​
Venture capital is not just about financial returns - it’s about shaping the future. It’s about betting on seemingly impossible ideas today that will redefine industries tomorrow. The legendary companies of the future are being built right now by visionary founders who refuse to accept the status quo. At One Eight Capital, we exist to find those visionaries, back them relentlessly, and accelerate their journey toward impact.
​​
Financial Responsibility
​
While our mission is to back transformative companies that reshape the future of healthcare, we never lose sight of the fact that our investors have entrusted us with their capital. With that trust comes the responsibility to deliver exceptional returns that not only justify the risks but also reward the boldness of those who choose to invest in the future. We're laser-focused on backing transformative companies that have the potential to generate exceptional returns.
​
The Power of Second Chances
​
At 32, I nearly lost my life. When you face the possibility of everything ending, you begin to see with absolute clarity: The only thing that truly matters is what you build, who you impact, and how you leave the world different from how you found it.
That experience didn’t just change me - it defined me. It pushed me to think bigger and refuse to settle for anything less than extraordinary. If I was given a second chance, it wasn’t just to exist but to build.
​
Investing in the Future of Healthcare
​
Our health is our most valuable asset, yet the healthcare system often treats it as an afterthought. One Eight Capital is not just investing in companies - we’re investing in a new paradigm of healthcare: one that is personalized, predictive, and preventative.
We believe the next great healthcare companies will not just treat illness; they will prevent it, optimize it, and personalize it for every individual. We are backing the founders who are making that future a reality.
​
Why Legendary Companies Win
​
Legendary companies aren’t just about revenue and market share. They change behavior. They shift culture. They build movements.
The companies we invest in at One Eight Capital share a few key traits:
-
Visionary Leadership – Founders who think in decades, not quarters.
-
Unshakable Conviction – Those who defy conventional wisdom and keep building when others hesitate.
-
Transformational Impact – Businesses that will redefine healthcare, not just compete in it.
​
VC isn’t just capital. It’s belief, strategy, and relentless execution. We partner with entrepreneurs in the trenches - not just as investors but as builders of something legendary.
Grateful for Our Partners
​
None of this would be possible without the bold and visionary investors who stand with us. At One Eight Capital, we are fortunate to partner with those who share our unwavering commitment to backing transformative companies, reshaping industries, and redefining the future of healthcare. Their belief in our mission - rooted in conviction and long-term thinking - fuels everything we do.
It takes courage to bet on the future, to see potential where others see risk, and to support founders who are building the impossible. To our investors: your trust, partnership, and shared vision are the foundation of the legendary legacy we are building together.
Our investors aren’t just funding companies – they are enabling breakthroughs that will transform healthcare.
