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.

What Sets Them Apart

Proven track record: 16 unicorns, 40+ notable exits, 8 IPOs from their investments over 16 years
Partner-led by serial entrepreneurs and successful founders rather than pure investors
Exclusive international network of successful entrepreneurs and investors across Europe and US
Hands-on operational support: They provide office space, strategic advice, and actively help with recruitment and business development
High founder satisfaction: NPS score of 82 confirms founder satisfaction with their support model
Community building: Portfolio companies benefit from access to 350+ other portfolio companies in their ecosystem
