For Founders
10XFOUNDER IS A CURATED PLATFORM FOR PRE-SEED AND SEED-STAGE FOUNDERS TO GAIN VISIBILITY, BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, AND ACCESS OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS A HIGH VALUE NETWORK.
We operate at the intersection of founders, emerging technology, and live commercial environments — combining events, editorial, and ongoing content to position early-stage companies in front of the right people.
This is not a volume platform.
It is a selective ecosystem designed for founders already in motion.
HOW IT WORKS
- Apply and be selected into the platform
- Attend curated events and build relationships
- Gain visibility through magazine and content
- Engage with founders, builders, partners, and investors
- Where alignment exists, introductions are facilitated
10X Founder is designed to create repeated interaction over time, not one-off exposure.
FIRST 30 DAYS
- Attend your first curated founder event
- Meet founders, developers, operators, and partners in the room
- Begin positioning through conversation and context
- Enter the network across events, content, and ongoing interaction
THE PLATFORM
10X Founder operates across a connected set of channels, each serving a distinct function within the early-stage journey.
From small, invitation-led rooms to larger London-based gatherings.
These include:
- founder pitch environments
- investor-led discussions
- practical sessions (e.g. pitching, positioning, communication)
- curated networking across founders, builders, and operators
Events are designed to create:
- visibility
- meaningful conversation
- and, where appropriate, introductions
A monthly publication read by investors, partners, and decision-makers.
Inclusion is merit-based, not paid editorial.
Founders benefit from:
- credible, structured visibility
- proximity to capital and partnership networks
- presentation in a format designed for investor understanding
The magazine is not promotional in tone.
It is designed to position founders clearly within a commercial context.
CONTENT & INTERVIEWS
Selected founders may be featured across:
- filmed interviews
- moderated discussions
- post-event content
Content is distributed across the platform, including broadcast via Subjam.
The objective is clarity of positioning, not exposure alone.
AI HIVE & PIE & AI
Within 10X Founder sits a distinct layer: AI Hive.
AI Hive brings together founders and builders working at a high level within AI, including those actively developing and experimenting with emerging technologies.
10X Founder and AI Hive collaborate on events within the PIE & AI series ( Deep Learning)
PIE & AI is a learning-focused event series that brings together technically capable founders, builders, and operators.
Through this collaboration, 10X Founder events are positioned within and marketed to a wider audience of over 7,500 participants via platforms such as Eventbrite.
What this means in practice
As a founder within 10X Founder, you operate across two connected environments:
1) The broader founder ecosystem
- access to founders across sectors
- events focused on visibility, positioning, and growth
- opportunities for partnerships and commercial collaboration
2) The AI HIVE layer
- proximity to technically capable builders and operators
- access to AI-focused events and conversations
- collaboration with individuals working at a high level within AI
INTRODUCTIONS
We facilitate introductions where alignment is clear.

This is a curated, relationship-led process, not a marketplace.
