이 팟캐스트 소개 🔗

Welcome to 8Spotlight, a founder-focused podcast brought to you by Eight Capital: a pre–Demo Day fund that has been backing Y Combinator startups for years.

With a portfolio of 200+ startups (and counting), we’ve had the privilege of working closely with some of the most ambitious entrepreneurs in the world, often at the very start of their journeys. This podcast is our way of opening that window for you.

In each episode, we go founder by founder, startup by startup, shining a spotlight (wink wink, nod nod) on the stories behind the companies in our portfolio. You’ll hear firsthand what it’s like to launch from YC, how great ideas take shape in real time, and the gritty, inspiring, and often surprising details that don’t always make it into TechCrunch headlines.

At Eight Capital, we believe that investing in startups is about more than term sheets and cap tables. It’s about people. The ones bold enough to ask, “Why not us? Why not now?” 8Spotlight is our celebration of those people. We’re proud to share their stories with you.

So plug in, press play, and discover the founders reshaping industries and rewriting the future one startup at a time.
