Investment Thesis

10x Founders operates from a ‘super angel’ perspective, leveraging the deep operational experience of their six partner founders who have built over 10 successful companies and invested in 300+ startups, including 15 unicorns. Their philosophy is rooted in the belief that former operators, CEOs, and founders make the most effective early-stage investors because they understand ‘every high and every low of the entrepreneurial journey.’ They aim to be ‘the most effective and influential early-stage investor for the next wave of ambitious founders’ by combining capital with hands-on mentorship, network access, and operational expertise.
