8i Ventures launches 'Origami', a $10 million seed funding initiative aimed at early-stage startups, with a potential increase to $20 million based on success.

The program focuses on pre-seed to early revenue stage companies and promises a fast-tracked investment process: one-week response time, two-week term sheet, and four-week deal closure.

Origami is funded from a portion of 8i Ventures' $25 million first close, which is part of a larger $50 million second fund.

The firm plans to invest in 8-10 startups throughout the current year, with individual investments ranging from $250,000 to $2 million.

Founded in 2019, 8i Ventures aims to support the growth of startups and foster the next wave of business leaders through the Origami initiative.
