ThirtyEight is not a traditional VC, not an accelerator, and not a consulting firm.
We are a venture & investment studio that builds and invests in companies from first thesis to real-world profitability.
We identify underestimated markets and emerging opportunities, turn them into clear business models, invest our own capital, and go deep operationally. Our focus is on real businesses with strong unit economics, not hype or pitch-deck theater.
At ThirtyEight, ideas don’t end up in folders — they get built.
