Measure 8 and its affiliates, Measure 8 GP, LLC, Measure 8 GP II, LLC, Measure 8 Full
Spectrum GP, LLC, Measure 8 Opportunities GP, LLC, M8 Phoenix, LLC, and Measure 8 SIF
Member, LLC, are Delaware limited liability companies based in New York, NY. Measure 8 is a
privately held alternative asset manager founded in January 2018. Mr. Jordan is the sole owner
of, and controls Measure 8. Mr. Ort is the Chief Executive Officer of Measure 8.
Measure 8 serves as investment adviser to three venture capital private equity funds (“VC
Funds”) and expects to launch other venture capital private equity funds in the future (“Fund 2”
and together with VC Funds, the “Closed-End Funds”). Measure 8 also advises three hedge
funds, Measure 8 Full Spectrum Fund, LP, Measure 8 Full Spectrum Offshore Fund, LP, and
Measure 8 Opportunities Fund, LP (the “Open-End Funds”, together with the Closed-End Funds,
the “Funds”). Additionally, Measure 8 serves as investment adviser to separately managed
accounts (the “SMAs” and collectively with the Funds, the “Clients”). Mr. Jordan is Chief
Investment Officer of the Closed-End Funds and SMAs. Mr. Ort is the Chief Investment Officer
of the Open-End Funds.
Measure 8 will seek to generate maximum capital growth for Clients through the use of an
analytically driven investment approach focused on uncovering opportunities in niche markets,
specifically the cannabis and hemp industries, and ancillary businesses, in accordance with their
respective investment management agreement, offering memorandum, limited partnership
agreement, and subscription documents (the “Governing Documents”). The Open-End Fund and
the SMA will allocate its assets to the public and pre-public markets and employ both a long-
term and short-term investment horizon. The Close-End Funds will seek primarily private market
investments targeting returns in excess of 30% IRR, and will invest in minority stakes, seeking a
lead-investor role in each investment round. With respect to the Closed-End Funds, the
Principals have a history of hands-on investing and anticipate working closely with portfolio
companies on strategy, recruiting and further
capital raising.
Measure 8 currently provides investment advice directly to the Funds and not individually to
their investors. Measure 8 advises SMAs pursuant to investment advisory agreements between
Measure 8 and the SMA. Information regarding Clients included in this brochure is qualified in
its entirety by information in the Clients’ Governing Documents. Investors and prospective
investors in the Funds should refer to the Governing Documents for more detailed information
on the investment objectives and investment restrictions with respect to the Funds. There is no
assurance that any of the Funds’ investment objectives will be achieved. This brochure is
designed solely to provide information about Measure 8 and should not be considered an offer of
interests in any Measure 8 Funds. Any such offer may be made only by delivery to the
prospective investor of the Governing Documents of the relevant fund under consideration.
As an investment adviser to the Clients, Measure 8:
• Identifies and evaluates investment opportunities for Clients;
• Structures and negotiates the terms of investments to be made by Clients;
• Monitors and reviews all documents required to complete the Clients’ investment
transactions;
• Monitors the performance of Clients’ investments;
• Evaluates, structures, and supervises, if appropriate, the timing and method of disposition
or liquidation of investments; and
• Prepares and transmits the reports required to be prepared and delivered to the investors
of each Fund pursuant to their respective Governing Documents.
Co-Investments: Measure 8 offers co-investment opportunities to the investors of the Funds, the
general partners, its employees, or others as deemed appropriate. Typically, the investment terms
of the target company are the same for the Closed-End Fund and co-investment entities. All co-
investments’ entities pay their pro-rata share of expenses and are subject to any applicable legal,
tax or regulatory considerations.
As of December 31, 2022, Measure 8 manages $234,819,919 in discretionary assets and
$72,117,226 in non-discretionary assets.
