Formation 8 was a venture capital firm based in San Francisco, California, founded in 2011. The firm invested in early- to growth-stage technology companies, with a focus on enterprise software, energy technology, and consumer internet businesses. It raised approximately $1 billion across two primary funds and sought to support companies with global market ambitions. Formation 8 emphasized cross-border relationships, particularly between the United States and Asia. The firm ceased making new investments in 2015 and subsequently wound down operations, managing its existing portfolio thereafter.
