10x ventures. Real outcomes.
T10 builds AI-native enterprise software companies — 10x leaner, 10x faster to value, and designed for strategic exits. We’ve done it three times. Now we’re sharing the playbook and building the next wave.
Founded by Shaun Ricci and Somen Mondal. Three ventures built, three strategic exits. Now applying that playbook to the AI-native era.
10x Ventures
AI-native companies built from the ground up — leaner teams, faster timelines, and designed to complement enterprise systems of record, not compete with them.
AI Governance
AI-native governance platform that simplifies and automates AI risk management and compliance — helping enterprises adopt AI with confidence. Built with a team of 5 doing the work of 50.

AI Teammate for HR/Talent
The AI teammate for HR and Talent. Pre-trained digital workers that screen candidates, coordinate interviews, and manage hiring workflows autonomously — plugging into Workday, Dayforce, UKG, iCIMS, and more. Enterprise-ready from day one. Built by the T10 founders.

The 10x Thesis
The best new startups don’t look like the last generation. They’re AI-native — tiny teams automating every internal function, reaching meaningful revenue with 5–12 people instead of 200. We call them 10x ventures. They’re leaner, faster to value, and purpose-built for strategic acquisition. That’s what we build.
10x Leaner
AI-native ventures reach meaningful revenue with 5–12 people. Every function — engineering, ops, sales, QA — is automated from day one. Less burn, more focus.
10x Faster to Value
Products ship faster, prove ROI faster, and reach acquisition-ready milestones in years, not decades. The architecture is built for intelligence, not manual workflow.
10x More Acquirable
Strategic buyers don’t need another system of record. They need AI-native capabilities that plug into their stack. That’s exactly what we build — complementary, not competitive.

How It Works
01
You Bring the Expertise
You know your industry cold. You see where AI-native software can solve problems legacy systems can’t. We validate the opportunity together.
02
We Design & Fund
We fund the venture, assemble a lean AI-native team, and build the product together. No fundraising, no pitch decks — just focused execution.
03
We Go to Market
We land enterprise customers — the kind of companies that become potential acquirers. Every customer relationship is a step toward the exit, by design.
04
Strategic Exit
A strategic buyer acquires the company. You walk away with life-changing money — not a decade from now, but in years. Then do it again, or don’t.
Let’s Talk
Whether you want to build a 10x venture with us or just want to talk through an idea — we’re here. No pitch deck needed.
