We provide 360 degree support for rapid scaling to $100m ARR.
The newly launched 10x Accelerator program is designed to scale companies with existing product market fit as rapidly as possible. Typical candidates have already raised several rounds of venture capital funding. We only select one company per year and only pick companies with a realistic, bottom-up case to reach $100m ARR during the acceleration period, and with enough funding and run-way secured to execute the plan.
​
Essentially, this program combines all our knowledge, best practices and plus full access to our team’s talent, partner and capital network to scale the business at maximum velocity. We are looking to work with ambitious start-ups looking to scale from product market fit to $100m plus ARR, providing every tool to go from early traction to market dominance.

Our Approach
1
Bottom-up Business Case
We create an analysis of the growth levers and revenue drivers of your business to understand if it is possible to achieve $100m ARR during our program and what activities, amount of capital plus manpower is required for it. Frameworks used include 10x Goal Setting and Beyond Possible Thinking.
2
Investment by 10x Value Partners
We put our money where our mouth is and invest in your company, typically at the valuation of the last priced round. Other components of the deal depend on the findings of our analysis.​​​
3
Business Audit and Gap Analysis
We perform an independent analysis on each department and function of your business, with the goal of determining the adherence to best practices and resilience towards 10-100x of rapid growth. For each gap identified, we hire a team of freelancers or agencies to rapidly start working on improvements, often within just one week.
4
Target Org Chart Design
In a series of workshops, we determine the target org chart for the business in 24 months. This often includes an upgraded executive team, international satellite offices and review of functions that need to be automated to avoid explosion of manual headcount.
5
10x Execution
Growth is a function of decision speed and quality factored with implementation speed and quality. We want to control all four variables, which can be driven through daily interactions, weekly steering calls and 90 day management sprints. We don’t work as consultants, but with a highly entrepreneurial attitude in 100% alignment with you. However, we also don’t work in the company, to not cause any disturbances with the wider team.
6
World-class Talent Acquisition
Due to the background of our team, we have exclusive access to some of the world’s best talent pools for start-up and executive talent across the entire world. With over 10,000 job interviews conducted over our careers, we can use both structured approaches and pattern recognition to make every hire a winner. We become your trusted partner for a level-up of the talent in your company.
7
$10-100B Equity Story
We will work with you on expanding the vision of your business from your beach-head market to a 10-20 year vision of becoming a (multi-) decacorn company. Paired with the growth metrics driven by the accelerator program, fund-raising your next round will become a self-fulling prophecy with the best investors in the world chasing you.

Scaling to $100m ARR
With the strategy, systems, tools and talent in place, scaling to $100m ARR becomes inevitable. The key to not losing control when blitzscaling is a highly robust real-time reporting and 360 degrees data-driven management approach. This will allow us to expand with high speed and quality simultaneously.
About You
Clear Product Market Fit​
Scaling a business without PMF will end in disaster.
We look for clear signs of product market fit and positive unit economics. In terms of revenue figures, $1m ARR would be the lowest possible bound.
Openness for Feedback and Rapid Decision-making
Without both of these, the rapid pace of growth and execution needed to succeed cannot be obtained. We are looking to work with founders willing to put a high degree of trust in our recommendations.
Inherent Potential for Scalability​
Some business models don’t have the propensity to scale quickly (without unreasonable amounts of capital required). Typically, those are businesses with long sales cycles or lack of synergies between markets entered. ​​
​
A Vision that Matters
We are looking for meaningful investments driven by a vision to generate a positive impact on the world. This is due to the high toll and level of involvement it takes for us to accelerate a business to $100m ARR and the limited number of companies, which we can accelerate.
The best way to reach us is by asking for a warm introduction or sending us a cold email with relevant metrics and why you would like to work with us specifically.
