Strategy that ships.
We don't stop at the deck. We stay until the system is live, the team owns it, and the numbers move. Advisory and implementation — delivered by the same hands.
Strategy and implementation, without the gaps.
Most advisory firms diagnose. Few deliver. We operate across the full lifecycle—from board-level strategy through technical execution.
Our work spans M&A advisory, digital transformation, and product development. We serve private equity, venture-backed companies, and established enterprises navigating technology disruption.

We evaluate and build, not just advise.

Doug Richman
I founded i8 Capital Partners to close the gap between advisory work and what actually ships. My engagements combine board-level strategy with hands-on technical build—so clients don't hand off strategy to a second vendor who never fully grasped it.
Operating background across wholesale consumer electronics, real estate, exotic and luxury automotive, mobile technology, and website design — giving me a working understanding of how deals, inventory, margins, and product actually behave across very different industries.
Discovery
Deep immersion into technical systems, business models, and market dynamics before recommendations.
Strategy
Clear roadmaps with measurable milestones, resource requirements, and risk mitigation.
Implementation
Embedded execution support—whether guiding internal teams or direct technical contribution.
Validation
Performance tracking against defined outcomes, with iterative refinement.
Let's build the future.
Direct engagement, no layers.
