Product10x
Venture Studio & Accelerator
Overview
Product10x had built an active portfolio of early-stage technology companies, but its operating model, market story and portfolio support needed greater cohesion. We helped translate the partners’ expertise into a clearer model for how Product10x creates value.
The challenge
Product10x had built an active portfolio of early-stage technology companies, but its operating model, market story and portfolio support needed greater cohesion. As Associate Partner for Product, Product Marketing and Branding, and Chief Storyteller, I helped translate the partners’ expertise into a clearer model for how Product10x creates value.
The work
I worked across product strategy, positioning, brand and go-to-market to codify the Product10x approach and create a more consistent story around its accelerator model. That work produced Co-Create Startups, a journey map naming the four stages a venture moves through and the outcome each one has to reach. I also provided hands-on product and marketing support to portfolio companies, including Fyrii, helping sharpen its product narrative, market positioning and launch communications as it secured funding, formed strategic partnerships and launched its Dev X platform.
