Eight: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)
Eight is a video‑first dating app that replaces traditional swiping and text‑based chats with short video introductions and live, time‑limited video calls between matches. Users create 30‑second video intros that are reviewed to help maintain genuineness, and then browse others’ videos within a fixed daily window. When two people “like” each other, they enter an 8‑minute live video conversation, after which they can choose to continue interacting or end the connection. The product focuses on enabling face‑to‑face interaction early in the match process, aiming to reduce superficial messaging and encourage more immediate, authentic exchanges.
Eight has raised $300k across 1 funding round on record, the most recent a Seed of $300k announced in Apr 2026.
That round is below the $4.3M median round size for Apps companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's Eight Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Eight is left off this page rather than filled in.
