Hey 👋 Peace and blessings upon you all!
I’m the Chief Investment Officer at 80eight.
Its just the title I give myself.
Truth is though, I am that I am. IYKYK
Lately, I’ve been deep in it.
I’ve spent the last few months immersed in businesses across South Africa and across the continent.
Big ones. Small ones. Startups. Family businesses. Ambitious founders. Brave ideas.
I can’t wait to share what I came across with you guys soon.
And one thing keeps coming up…
There’s a shift happening in mindset, in business and in culture.
Everyone’s trying to grow. Adapt. Change and come more authentic to very being of existence.
And it’s not just economic.
It’s personal.
It’s generational.
It’s spiritual.
I’ve been watching how people are redefining what success means.
How they’re building for their communities.
And that made me realise.
80eight was made for means and not ends.
It’s a journey.
And we’re here to walk it with you. For you. Beside you.
Because when you change the way you look at things… the things you look at change.
So if you’ve ever wondered what I actually do…
I invest in ideas, in people, in industries, in impact.
Alongside building the 80eight.io Digital asset custodial environment
I invest in the smartest people because I like being around them.
But let me be honest: I'm doing this for me, too.
This work… this mission… it’s that thing for me you know.
It’s helping me grow. I just hope you get something from it as well.
That’s it.
Thanks for listening.
ps. Some major news to be announced soon.
Best,
Z.
