Our Story

In the bustling heart of Taiwan’s innovation landscape, 886 Studios was born with a singular mission: to foster and grow Taiwan’s startup ecosystem. Named after Taiwan's international country code, 886 Studios embodies a commitment to Taiwan’s future in tech, talent, and innovation.

In our early days, 886 Studios operated as a venture studio to help start new companies. We quickly realized that while our model was effective, the process of assisting startups could be streamlined to achieve faster and more impactful results. This insight drove us to rethink our approach and led to the creation of the ikigai Launchpad, our startup program designed to accelerate success.

We envision a dynamic environment where entrepreneurs can thrive with the right mix of investment, resources, and support. This vision is rooted in our collective experience and success in building our own companies, combined with an intimate understanding of Taiwan’s unique strengths and opportunities.

At 886 Studios, we are not just building companies; we are shaping the future of innovation in Taiwan. Our commitment to this vision drives us to continuously evolve and expand our support for the startup ecosystem, ensuring that Taiwan remains at the forefront of global tech innovation.
