10X Venture Partners
10X Venture Partners was founded in 2012 by Phil Bronner, Will Coetsee, and Jeffrey Clark, all former executives with backgrounds in technology and finance. The firm operates from three US offices: New York, Baltimore, and Merrimack, New Hampshire. Its wealth origin is not publicly disclosed. The firm invests primarily in enterprise software, digital health, AI/ML, and fintech companies at the seed and Series A stages. 10X typically leads or co-leads rounds, deploying between $1M and $5M per initial investment, with reserves for follow-ons. Portfolio companies include notable names like x.ai (AI scheduling assistant, acquired by Apptio), CognitiveScale (AI for healthcare and financial services), and Voxel (workplace safety AI). The firm targets US-based startups with a focus on the Northeast corridor and select tech hubs. 10X Venture Partners has raised multiple funds, with Fund V reportedly targeting $150M in 2023 (per SEC filings). The firm has about 12 professionals across investing, operations, and platform support. It does not publicly disclose total AUM. The partners maintain an active board presence in portfolio companies. May 2024: 10X Venture Partners led the $15M Series A for Voxel, an AI workplace safety platform (per TechCrunch, May 2024). Unlike many venture firms, 10X operates with a compact team of three equal partners, enabling fast decisions without committee bottlenecks. Its focus on regulated verticals—healthcare, financial services, insurance—gives the firm a defensible niche versus generalist early-stage investors.

Which sectors does 10X explicitly avoid?
10X does not invest in real estate, infrastructure, life sciences/biotech (except healthtech software), or consumer-facing businesses.
