Base10 Partners

Base10 Partners is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm founded by Adeyemi Ajao and TJ Nahigian. The firm's core investment thesis centers on the "Automation Economy," focusing on technology companies that bring automation and software solutions to major, traditional industries such as logistics, retail, healthcare, and finance. Base10 invests across different stages, from early-stage seed rounds to later-stage growth equity, and is known for its research-driven approach to identifying key trends and promising startups. The firm is also notable for its commitment to diversity and its "Advancement Initiative," a fund where 50% of the carried interest is donated to create scholarships for students from underrepresented backgrounds at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
