Community · Co-Foundry · Forum

Community of repeat entrepreneurs, building AI-native companies together.

Ide8 is an invite‑only community of experienced founders who co‑found their next companies side by side — each member joining a founding team or advising and supporting one — and who engage with the global AI initiatives moving the AI economy forward.

The mission

Great companies will be built by experienced founders building together.


Every repeat entrepreneur starts their next company knowing what a company needs. Ide8 exists so they can start it with more than experience: an invite-only community of peers who have done it before, co-founders and advisors drawn from that community, resources shared across it, and a seat in the global AI initiatives moving the AI economy forward.

Sometimes membership becomes counsel, shared founder to founder. Sometimes it becomes a role in a global initiative. And sometimes it becomes a company — co-founded together, owned together, and AI-native from day one.

01 · The Community

An invite-only community of repeat entrepreneurs.

Our members have founded, built, and exited companies, and are building again. Each is invited one at a time. They join Ide8 to work alongside peers who match their pace, exchange hard-won judgment, and build lasting relationships with the people they will co-found their next companies with.

Each member’s thinking stays within reach beyond any single conversation. Every member creates an AI Twin on Sonar — built with them from their own work, always clearly identified as a Twin, and always in service of the human relationship at the center of the community.

Ide8 members represented as distinct figures, each drawn in an individual line and colour.

02 · Ide8 Co-Foundry

We co-found companies together.

The Co-Foundry is where members build their next companies, side by side. Every member participates in every company: some join the founding team, others advise and support it. Each company is tested by the community, co-founded with experienced builders around the table, and launched AI-native from day one.

03 · Ide8 Forum

Where the community engages with global AI initiatives.


The Forum brings members and invited guests together, in person, around a small number of consequential questions in AI. Members bring the perspective of people who build, and the community puts its weight behind the initiatives that help the AI economy move forward. Every seat is by invitation.

Ide8 members and invited guests gathered around a long table in a light-filled room.

Ideas arrive as conversation — and leave as collaboration.
