Three founders.
One love app.

Before Eight, Miguel was in sales,and he was relentless. He built a track record that generated over a million in revenue on his own, by approaching thousands of people in person, learning fast, and refusing to take no for an answer.

That's also where the idea for Eight started. Between the two of us we approached thousands of women in real life,and watched the same pattern over and over: amazing people stuck on apps that were built to waste their time. We were both sick of it. So we built our own.

Miguel still personally reviews video submissions every week,"because if I stop, I forget who we built it for."

Before Eight, Afonso built and scaled multiple e-commerce brands online,generating millions in revenue across DTC and paid acquisition. Performance marketing, creative, brand,the full stack of getting strangers to care, click, and come back.

And then he became obsessed with dating. Not in a casual way,in a "I cannot stop thinking about why this entire category is broken" way. Every conversation, every coffee, eventually circled back to the same thing: this is the most important market in the world, and nobody is building it for the people actually using it.

Afonso runs brand, growth and creative at Eight. The signature 💜, the "love app, not dating app" line, every piece of copy,that's him. He loves this space. It shows.
