You will not want to miss our public events throughout our 10-day inaugural program Feb 16th-26th in downtown Denver.
You can be part of something that is a first for the Colorado business community! Whether you are part of a startup, support Colorado business growth or just get excited by innovative, outside-the-box thinking, you can support 10.10.10 in our audacious goal to tackle the World’s Wicked Problems in Health with radical solutions driven by entrepreneurs. Denver is home to a flourishing startup community and innovation leaders – and now 10.10.10 is on a mission to take it to a higher level.
What 10.10.10 does is different. We are an organization and a program that develops market-based solutions to the world’s “Wicked Problems.” We are not a charity or a think tank. We focus specifically on market-based solutions because, after all, that’s what entrepreneurs do. Founder Tom Higley is a successful Denver entrepreneur, the founder and CEO of six startups. He knows what it takes to bring a big idea to fruition.
10 CEOs will explore 10 pre-selected Wicked Problems in Health over 10 days.
This year’s 10.10.10 program focuses on Wicked Problems in Health. 10 successful entrepreneurs who are ready for their next venture will look to 10.10.10 to find their next startup focused on a marketable solution that addresses a Wicked Problem in Health. The goal after the ten days is a short list of fundable startup companies with significant market potential, companies creating and bringing to market truly innovative solutions to Wicked Problems in Health.
