Chairman / NED / Board Partner

0-8 Capital GmbH

Founder-led | Buy-and-Build | Capital Alignment Required

Over recent weeks, one pattern has become increasingly clear. There is no shortage of people who like the sound of a chairman title. There is no shortage of people who ask for calls, ask for context, ask to “explore fit,” and then disappear, delay, hedge, or drift into advisory posturing. We are not looking for that.

We are looking for a different kind of person.

A person with:

• real success behind them
• real consequence in their history
• real substance behind the handshake
• and enough judgment to move without theatre

This is not a search for decorative governance.

It is not a search for coffee-chat board members.

It is not a search for advisory tourists trying to create optionality around themselves.

It is a search for chairman-level or non-executive board talent that understands what a founder-led build actually is:

• imperfect at the beginning
• serious in intent
• disciplined in structure
• and built through conviction, not committee behaviour

We are interested in people who have already:

• built, operated
• invested, chaired
• bought, sold
• restructured
• and taken real decisions with real downside

People who do not need a week to decide whether a 30-minute conversation is worth taking. People who do not arrive looking for another soft mandate. People who do not confuse access with value.

What matters to us:

• economic seriousness
• speed, clarity
• founder respect
• and willingness to align with capital, not just language

The right fit may take the form of:

• Chairman, Non-Executive Director
• Board Partner
• Capital-aligned strategic contributor

But the standard is the same:

If you want the seat, bring substance.

If you want influence, bring consequence.

If you want to be at the table, come with judgment, success and skin in the game.
