10vc

10vc is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2022 and based in California. It invests at the pre-seed stage - the point at which a company is typically forming around an initial technology or founder thesis, ahead of institutional seed rounds - writing capital into founders developing what the firm describes as breakthrough technologies. The firm characterises its mandate as "capital for the exponential age", with a stated interest in platforms built through compounding technologies.

Sector coverage is broad within deep technology. 10vc names software, robotics, biotech, energy, materials science, artificial intelligence and automation among the areas it invests in, alongside industrial AI and automation more specifically. The common thread is less a single vertical than a preference for technologies capable of significant cross-industry impact.

Alongside capital, the firm provides access to a network of experts, operators and innovators intended to support portfolio founders as their companies develop, together with relationships across business and technology. The partnership comprises Ben Patterson and Daniel Ramirez, whose backgrounds are in early-stage investing. 10vc publishes at https://www.10vc.com/.
