AT 8TH LIGHT

WE BRING LIFE TO THE BEST IDEAS

Not just the doable ones, the ideas worth pursuing.

 

The ones that feel too challenging, to ambitious, too complex.

 

Because the problem isn't always the idea. Sometimes it's the path to bring it to life.

 

And that path, it's gotten harder.

 

Every year, engineering teams launch tens of millions of new software projects, with over 98 million started in GitHub alone.

 

But most of them don’t make it across the finish line:

16%

enterprise technical projects are successful, meeting time, budget, and scope.

42%

cutting-edge AI initiatives are abandoned outright or half-finished.

65%

of software projects fail without platform engineering frameworks

50%

slower time-to-market due to rework from poor UX engagement

17%

large IT projects that fail so catastrophically, it threatens company existence

88%

abandoned commerce sessions after a single poor user experience

SO WHAT'S IT ALL MEAN?
 

This isn’t a failure
of imagination.

It’s a failure of systems.

Of alignment.

Of execution.

Even great ideas get buried
under constraints and noise.

These ideas are the ones
we were born for.

The best ideas...

...don't always arrive in pitch decks or planning meetings.

They show up uninvited.

On a train, in the shower, at 3AM on the changing table.

But somehow, they always find the people bold enough to chase them.

We partner with...

…ambitious business leaders and their teams.

We cut through complexity and find clarity.

Together, we deliver technical solutions and durable systems.

Systems that move teams from sketch to shipped.

Idea to launch.

And launch to scale.

From "What if?" to "We did.".

Whether it's:

 

  • Infrastructure that handles 50,000+ requests per second

  • Compliance-ready data platforms that unlock AI in regulated industries

  • Experimentation systems that reduce cycles from weeks to minutes

  • Or, personalization that matches needs before users articulate them

 

We build software that changes what's possible.

Since 2006, we’ve married design, engineering, and strategic delivery excellence to turn uncertain or bold ideas into lasting impact.

 

We coach. We embed. We co-create.

 

So your team doesn't just ship better software.

 

They become stronger builders.

 

Because wins worth building aren't just measurable.

 

They're meaningful. Memorable. Shared, for years to come.
