What 8 Mile Consulting (hk) Limited does

8 Mile Consulting (HK) Limited is a Hong Kong-incorporated boutique consultancy founded in 2021 that provides bespoke marketing and capital-raising advisory services to hedge fund and private equity managers. The firm positions itself as a lifecycle partner to alternative investment managers, supporting them from assessing investibility through to investor positioning, allocator mapping, pitch development, and ongoing business development. Its service scope is intentionally flexible, ranging from light-touch advisory engagements to comprehensive, high-touch capital raising execution tailored to the client's stage.

The firm operates as a pure-play professional services business with no proprietary technology platform. Its competitive identity is built on the direct practitioner experience of its two co-founders — Myo Schollum (17 years at Credit Suisse across Institutional Wealth Solutions and Prime Services in Asia, plus CEO of boutique seeding firm Ascalon Capital) and Lisa Chen (Credit Suisse Asset Management distribution, BlackRock, and head of marketing at an Asia-based start-up PE fund; native Mandarin speaker). The team leverages prior institutional relationships, allocator database familiarity, and on-the-ground experience running capital introduction, DDQ preparation, and investor outreach to differentiate from purely strategic consultancies.

Commercially, the firm generates revenue through consulting fees for bespoke engagements, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on professional network referrals and direct outreach to alternative investment managers in Asia and globally. The firm is privately held, has no external funding, and is small (1–10 employees), with the two named co-founders effectively comprising the operating team. Its customer base is institutional hedge fund and PE managers, with institutional allocators also addressed as a secondary audience.
