We solve the problems others can't.
For CEOs, Chief Strategy Officers, and Corporate Venture leaders who are tired of consulting firms that promise transformation and deliver theater.
Who We Are
808MPH exists to solve the messy problems. The complex ones. The ones that actually matter to your bottom line. We show up, we work with you to diagnose the real problem, and together we fix it.
Most consulting firms offer performance art.
Most consulting firms promise transformation, deliver theater, and leave you with a seven-figure bill but no outcomes. We witnessed this charade destroy perfectly good businesses for decades before deciding to torch the entire playbook.
We provide partner-led, partner-delivered strategy and transformation.
Our team deploys two deeply experience partners, one focused on strategy and investment and the other focused on governance and the translation of strategy into action. You always get the “A team” and we work directly with you to solve complex problems or seize new opportunities, while building your in house capabilities through active coaching.

What We Do
We don't send junior staff to learn on your dime or pitch processes wrapped in buzzwords. Every engagement is bespoke. Our partners do the work, hip to hip with your team. We bring deep real world experience scaling and pivoting businesses to your team.
Corporate Venture Capital
We build, structure, and run corporate venture programs that return real value. Not a checkbox. Not innovation theater.
Innovation and AI Strategy
We build AI and innovation strategies that are executable and we help you start executing against the roadmap. We see the field clearly because we're not selling a platform, we’re applying years of transformation experience.
Portfolio Strategy and Management
We bring discipline and vision to complex, multi-asset portfolios, from the strategic architecture through execution. We provide experienced GP-in-Residence, Board Member-in-Residence, and Operating Partner-in-Residence fractional guidance.
Venture Studio Design
We build alignment on desired strategic and financial outcomes and create governance structures to last, giving your portfolio time to perform.
Fractional Guidance
We provide General Partner-in-Residence, Operating Partner-in-Residence, Board Members, and Investment Committee Members as fractional advisors to your corporate venture bench.
Who We Are Not
Clarity about what we don't do is as important as clarity about what we do.
If you're looking for consultants who will validate your existing assumptions, confirm what is politically expedient, and deliver slide decks that make everyone feel good, we're not the right fit. Instead, we’re deeply motivated by client impact and we only take projects where we are confident we can have that impact.
We are not a traditional “leverage” consulting firm.
We don't staff your project with a team of analysts managed by a partner who appears for the pitch and the final presentation. The people you hire are the people who do the work.
We are not process consultants.
We don't sell a proprietary framework. We diagnose your actual problem, find your winning opportunity, and build the solution that fits it. While we build on patterns, our work is not cookie cutter. We’re more concerned with driving your outcomes than with having a reusable methodology that drives our margin.
We are not innovation theater experts.
We’re not satisfied with innovation programs that deliver good PR or learning value. We’re relentless about driving measurable business value, guided by our experience growing lean startups, where every penny counts.
We’re not new to this.
We’re selling two lifetimes of experience driving winning growth strategies, transforming companies, identifying and signing big game changing deals and investments, and navigating uncertainty. And we’re ready to apply that expertise to your business.
Think you might be different?
It all starts with one honest conversation. No lengthy pitch deck, no endless proposals. We figure out together whether this is the right fit by listening and diagnosing, and transparently sharing who we are.
