10x is the federal government’s very own venture studio
September 3, 2024
Announcing changes to 10x and unveiling 10x Concepts
10x is evolving to include Concept Areas, which allows us to focus on big problems requiring concentrated attention.
We're different by design
Big ideas
All of our Projects come from public servants who submit ideas to see if they can move the needle forward to solve a real problem.
Small investments
We use an incremental funding approach to minimize the amount of funding we put behind unfeasible projects, so we can focus investments on the most promising ideas.
Scalable innovation
We demand that our projects demonstrate feasibility and opportunity for impact at every stage of the process. If they don't, we wind them down.
We’re re-imagining government technology services through your ideas
As a public servant, you're uniquely positioned to imagine better ways to serve the public. If you’ve ever thought, 'There's got to be a better way to do that,' we want your ideas.
