Over 8Spotlight

Welcome to 8Spotlight, a founder-focused podcast brought to you by Eight Capital: a pre–Demo Day fund that has been backing Y Combinator startups for years.With a portfolio of 200+ startups (and counting), we’ve had the privilege of working closely with some of the most ambitious entrepreneurs in the world, often at the very start of their journeys. This podcast is our way of opening that window for you. In each episode, we go founder by founder, startup by startup, shining a spotlight (wink wink, nod nod) on the stories behind the companies in our portfolio. You’ll hear firsthand what it’s like to launch from YC, how great ideas take shape in real time, and the gritty, inspiring, and often surprising details that don’t always make it into TechCrunch headlines. At Eight Capital, we believe that investing in startups is about more than term sheets and cap tables. It’s about people. The ones bold enough to ask, “Why not us? Why not now?” 8Spotlight is our celebration of those people. We’re proud to share their stories with you. So plug in, press play, and discover the founders reshaping industries and rewriting the future one startup at a time.

Spotlighting Optery: How Lawrence Gentilello Is Building the Privacy Infrastructure for the Internet

Today on the podcast, we’re joined by Lawrence Gentilello, founder of Optery, a privacy and data removal platform trusted by hundreds of thousands of individuals and over a thousand businesses. Optery operates a highly scaled B2C business alongside a fast-growing B2B platform, helping people and organizations remove sensitive personal data from data brokers and reduce digital exposure. In this conversation, Lawrence shares how Optery scaled to eight figures in recurring revenue centering company values, navigated growing pains in user acquisition, expanded internationally, and built a product roadmap centered on AI-powered privacy protection—all while remaining seed funded and capital efficient.
