Sell proof, not promises.

Buyers don’t trust big claims anymore. They trust proof.
We verify what you claim, so you can win more trust, close more deals, and stand out from the noise.

We independently verify your sales and marketing claims so you can use them to win new business.

Whether you're saying you 10x’d a client’s leads, doubled conversions, or retained 90% of your customers, we help you prove it and turn it into a trusted, conversion-driving asset.

You tell us what you claim.
We tell you what we need to prove it.
You submit the evidence.
We do the rest

Most founders don’t fail because they’re not good. They fail because they don’t know what they don’t know. They’ve never built a business to a significant level.

At 8FF, we’ve been there and done it, and we have seen the pattern again and again:

  • You get some traction

  • You hire a few people

  • You chase the opportunity

  • Then? You stall. Your business stalls. Everything becomes on big blur.

This happens almost every single time. It’s (unfortunately) predictable.

We exist to fix that pattern. To help founders escape the invisible trap which usually happens between $500K and $2M, and give them the strategy, structure, and execution support to break through.

You deserve to win at the next level. Not just barely survive at this one.

And if you want to enable your business to give you a life-changing exit, stalling where you’re at now isn’t a viable option.

Benefits for Current 6FFs or 7FFs

  • Business

    We help turn a good, but chaotic business into a high-performing, scalable company. Clients gain strategic clarity, stronger pricing power, better systems, a more accountable team, and real traction without adding complexity or bloat.

  • Personal

    Founders stop feeling like everything depends on them. They regain control of their time, make better decisions with more confidence, and lead with authority instead of reacting to problems. The stress lifts and they start acting like a true CEO.

  • Life Overall

    With a business that no longer runs on chaos, founders finally get the freedom they started out for: more time, less stress, and space to think, grow, and enjoy life outside of work again. Expect better earnings and cash to allocate and deploy for your personal life.

We’re best suited to founders of a small but established (post ‘hustle’ phase) business, operating in professional industries or markets with services and/or solutions.

This was built for founders like you. We’ve been in your shoes and successfully exited in the 8-figure range (multiple times over).

We’re a collective of exited founders, commercial strategists, and business operators. 8FF is only those who have succeeded with your own (personal and business) goals.

If you’re going to leverage anyone in business in an advisory capacity, then leverage those who have achieved what you’re looking to achieve.

Because there’s no substitute for real-ownership experience.

We’ve built real businesses. Made real mistakes. Had real exits. Changed our lives.

Now, we’re focused on helping others do the same- faster, smarter, and with less chaos.

 FAQs

  • So far, our best-fit clients are:

    • Past the hustle stage, meaning they’re no longer ‘guessing’ and are usually min $500K/year in revenue.

    • Specialists in a professional market. They’re not generalists in red-ocean markets. They deliver outcomes, value and results via services or solutions (not products or goods).

    • Have a desire to be supported and “led”. They don’t have an ego, understand their own limitations, and truly want the help from our team.

    • Highly motivated to make change(s) and to accept the work, energy and effort it will take to hit the next big level (10mn+).

  • We always do our best to create an arrangement which is mutually beneficial. Therefore, our pricing and fees are not “fixed.” You can read more about this, here.

    We see ourselves as your dedicated, hands-on, growth advisor. You’ll likely find we overdeliver and overcommit to your business.

    Every advisor gets to know you and your business nearly as well as you know it yourself. That’s how hands-on we aim to be.

  • This varies considerably because it depends on your stage, fit, status, circumstances of your business (and your founding team). We set out milestones and associated results before we start an official advisory engagement. Rest assured, many positive results and changes are to be expected. We stand by our motto of “Proven Advice, XXX”

  • Yes, depending on your requirements. This support is then covered under a similar fee arrangement (discounted and uplift applied once your business hits certain financial milestones).

  • Yes, we can meet via video call here. If there’s a good fit, we can meet in-person too.
