About 8090 Solutions

The Software Industrial Complex has evolved into a bloated, expensive ecosystem that burdens enterprises with unnecessary complexity and inefficiency. 8090 Solutions is changing that. Co-founded and led by Chamath Palihapitiya, 8090 builds and operates Software Factory — an AI-native system that gives enterprises top-down control over their entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).

What We Do

8090 operates across two complementary sides of the business:

• Software Factory (Platform): A platform that helps software development teams produce better software faster and more efficiently, delivering quality, control, and consistency as the new standard for AI-built software.
• Enterprise Consulting: A consulting arm that partners directly with businesses to create bespoke, purpose-built software that helps them achieve their business objectives.

Our Thesis

With the dramatically lowering cost of software generation and creation through AI, there is a tremendous opportunity for businesses of any size to run better, more efficiently, and in a more democratic way. Anyone can start a business with less friction because of this shift — and 8090 is positioned at the center of that transformation.

Why 8090

• Backed by Chamath Palihapitiya and well-funded with double-digit millions in capital, providing tremendous access to enterprise customers, large companies, and government.
• Flat organization where everyone reports directly to the CEO — ownership, agency, and high-impact work are not just values but the operating model.
• Rapidly growing market in AI-powered software development, with strong business momentum and expanding demand.
• Early-stage opportunity (~45 people) that offers a blank canvas for growth, ownership, and the ability to define where the company goes.

Our Culture

8090 celebrates and appreciates ownership and agency. High-agency, highly motivated individuals thrive here. If you do great work and continue building, you can own a significant chunk of an operation. The company was founded on values of engineering excellence, insatiable curiosity, a bias for action, ownership, agency, honesty, and radical candor.

We believe in building AI with AI — constantly challenging which software paradigms are evolving with advances in AI and leveraging AI tools to improve individual and team productivity.
