The surest way to invest in a unicorn...is to build it. In this can't-miss Sourcery episode, 8VC Founding Partner Drew Oetting joins Molly O'Shea to discuss how the firm’s founder DNA has shaped the journeys of OpenGov Inc., Saronic Technologies, Affinity.co, Resilience, and more—as well as such big-picture topics as AGI, the economy, and, of course, aliens 👽.
With $6B+ AUM, 8VC has redefined the venture playbook: they don’t just fund companies—they build them. Some outcomes speak for themselves: Palantir Technologies ($370B) Addepar (managing $7T+) OpenGov Inc. ($1.8B acquisition) On Sourcery, Founding Partner Drew Oetting breaks down 8VC’s infamous Build Program—where nearly 30% of the fund’s capital goes into startups they co-create. To date, 8VC has co-founded 28 companies, including Affinity, Saronic Technologies, Epirus, and Resilience—all rooted in the firm’s builder DNA (see: Joe Lonsdale)
