About Us
Built by founders, for founders.
886 Studios backs ambitious early-stage founders building companies with global potential.
Who We Are
886 Studios is a group of experienced founders dedicated to building and launching startups globally. Our partners include the founders of Twitch, Kabam, RedOctane (creators of Guitar Hero), Playdom, OrbitBaby, HTC Vive, and other successful companies.
Our portfolio spans industries and geographies, including Discord, OURA, Crunchyroll, Gogoro, P. LEAGUE+, KKBOX, and more. We back ambitious early-stage founders with a commitment to empowering Taiwan's startup ecosystem.
What makes 886 Studios unique is our ability to combine Silicon Valley experience with deep knowledge of Taiwan's talent and market strengths. Based in Taipei, we serve as a bridge between Taiwan and Silicon Valley.
Our Story
Named after Taiwan's international country code, 886 Studios was born with a singular mission: to foster and grow Taiwan's startup ecosystem.
In our early days, 886 Studios operated as a venture studio. This insight drove us to create the ikigai Launchpad — our startup accelerator designed to propel founders toward global growth.
Our vision is simple: create an environment where founders can thrive with the right mix of funding, mentorship, resources, and networks. We are not just building companies — we are shaping the future of innovation in Taiwan and beyond.
