Key people at 10xU.
10xU was founded in 2015 by Lorenzo De Leo (Co-Founder & CEO).
10xU is an online-first education platform by Rokk3r that empowers entrepreneurs and innovative teams with flexible programs to build and scale startups, focusing on product validation, execution, growth, capital raising, and exponential thinking.[2][3] It serves aspiring entrepreneurs, established companies, and corporate teams seeking to adopt startup methodologies, solving the challenge of navigating digitalization, hyper-connectivity, and high startup failure rates (90%) by providing proven tools, community, and methodology from launching over 50 companies.[2][3] As a Rokk3r Labs portfolio company launched in 2017, it emphasizes global scalability through courses, workshops, mentoring, networking, and free content to foster collaboration across startup hubs.[3]
(Note: Distinct from 10X Capital, a merchant bank in digital transformation and assets, or 10XU athleisure, a 2024 cricket activewear brand backed by Sachin Tendulkar. This overview focuses on the primary education platform matching "10xU is a company" from Rokk3r sources.)[1][4][5]
Founded in 2017 by Lorenzo de Leo, who drew from over 15 years in innovation and Rokk3r's experience launching 54 companies across the U.S. and Latin America, 10xU emerged to democratize entrepreneurial success amid digital abundance.[2][3] De Leo, also Managing Partner at Rokk3r Labs—a "cobuilding" platform for exponential startups using tech like blockchain and AI—identified a gap: established firms and individuals needed tools for the "new world order" of hyper-connectivity.[3] As Rokk3r's portfolio company, it started in Miami with online/in-person offerings, quickly aiming for global reach by connecting startup ecosystems, backed by Rokk3r CEO Nabyl Charania's endorsement of its model for ecosystem connectedness.[3]
Early traction built on Rokk3r's methodology, evolving from internal learnings to a public platform with core modules, humanizing entrepreneurship as accessible to anyone with preparation.[2]
10xU rides the wave of digital transformation and democratization of entrepreneurship, where hyper-connectivity and exponential tech (AI, blockchain) lower barriers but demand new skills amid 90% startup failures.[2][3] Timing aligns with post-2017 global startup hub proliferation, positioning it as a connector amplifying growth via resource exchange—much like Rokk3r's cobuilding model influences ecosystems by mitigating risks for investors/corporations.[3] Market forces like remote learning booms and corporate innovation needs favor its online scalability, while it shapes the landscape by upskilling leaders, promoting innovation, and bridging traditional businesses to digital-native ventures.[2]
10xU is poised to expand as the go-to platform for entrepreneurial upskilling in AI-driven, hyper-connected economies, potentially integrating emerging tech like VR workshops or AI-personalized roadmaps. Trends like corporate venturing and global hub networks will propel it, evolving from education to a full execution ecosystem—perhaps deepening Rokk3r ties for co-launches. Its influence could grow by powering the next wave of 10x successes, turning bold teams into ecosystem multipliers and proving anyone can join the 10% that thrive.[2][3]
