Base 10 Ventures

Base10 is a technology investment firm focused on the automation of the real economy, specifically backing founders who address challenges for the 99% of the population. The firm differentiates itself with a unique approach, dedicating 50% of the profits from its largest investments to fund scholarships at under-resourced colleges, aiming to cultivate future technology leaders. This strategy combines financial investment with a direct societal impact.

The firm was co-founded in 2018 by Adeyemi Ajao and TJ Nahigian, both of whom previously built and invested in successful companies. Their collective experience informed an insight into the necessity of leveraging technology for broader societal benefit. They established Base10 on the principle of data-driven investment decisions, aiming to identify and support innovations that resonate across the general populace rather than a niche.

Base10 supports companies that develop automation solutions impacting significant segments of the real economy, from finance to food and retail. Their vision extends beyond mere capital provision; it encompasses empowering a diverse group of entrepreneurs and actively shaping an inclusive future for the tech industry through targeted educational philanthropy. The firm consistently seeks to back innovations that make a tangible difference in everyday lives.
