QUEST
Help Founders Win.
Our Why
At Eight Bit Studios, we're on a quest to help Founders win. We partner with non-technical visionaries who see possibilities where others see limits, who dream big and aim to make a lasting impact. We understand what it takes to bring an idea to market: the risks, the obstacles, and the relentless pressure to succeed. Founding a company is thrilling, but it can also be overwhelming. Every day brings critical decisions, unexpected challenges, and the constant need to maximize every dollar. We get it. And we’re here to be your trusted partner at every step, so you can focus on turning your vision into something extraordinary.
Our Next Chapter:
Embracing AI
Since 2009, we’ve set out to make tech that people genuinely enjoy. Inspired by the charm of 8-bit games, we built apps that didn’t just work—they made people smile. Now, in 2025, we’re embracing a new chapter, expanding beyond mobile apps to help non-technical founders bring AI-enabled MVPs to life, fast and efficiently.
Through our Fractional Launch Partner model, we guide founders from the first spark of an idea to a market-ready product. Our team, led by Don Bora as Fractional CTO and Steve Polacek as Fractional Chief Design Officer, delivers agile, precision-driven support, ensuring your MVP is scalable, impactful, and ready to meet today’s fast-paced tech demands.
Ready to write the next chapter of your story? Let’s bring your MVP to life, together.
Our Values
These core values act as a compass to guide our actions, decisions, and behavior for how we go about being Eight Bit.
Operate
Inclusively
We believe in creating a safe, welcoming, and healthy work environment for all. We are all-Inclusive. That means being approachable, welcoming, respectful, and empathetic to everyone at all times. We strive to go all-in for our teammates, partners, products, and community.
Play
Seriously
We believe in taking our work and fun seriously. Play strengthens bonds between team members while increasing engagement, collaboration, and innovation. Work is both fun and fulfilling when everyone plays their part in achieving our goals together.
Lead
Humanly
We believe everyone is capable of leadership. We encourage our employees to be resourceful, have an opinion, listen with intention, own their decisions, take chances, learn from missteps, and empower others. We put more emphasis on people than numbers, striving to understand data, while making human decisions. This is the human side of leadership.
