Radical transparency
Open collaboration creates trust, shortens feedback loops, and gives strong ideas a faster path to impact.
Company doctrine
We turn hard national security problems into operating companies.
10x National Security exists to move serious technology out of the concept phase and into operational capability. The company is built around speed, openness, ownership, and practical execution.
Core vision
Build the conditions for future security.
01
Lower the barrier for adoption of new and emerging technologies.
02
Support the pursuit of the American Dream by helping new enterprises form.
03
Enable life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for global society.
04
Build a portfolio across space, cyber, autonomy, cloud, health, and information sciences.
05
Improve national security for future generations.
Cultural beliefs
The culture is an execution system.
The team is designed for environments where ambiguity, security, and urgency meet. Strong culture is not decoration here; it is how prototypes become trusted systems.
Purpose before theater
The work has to matter. We prefer hard operational problems over polished demos that never leave the room.
Diversity of ideas
Different perspectives are not a side benefit. They are how technical teams find the useful edge cases first.
Massive action
Bold steps, fast prototypes, and disciplined follow-through turn promising concepts into usable capability.
What we embrace
Prepared, collaborative, and slightly over the horizon.
Prepare
A little rigor early saves entire cycles later.
We use clear intent, written assumptions, and early architecture pressure tests before momentum hardens the wrong plan.
Collaborate
Great ideas rarely come from one mind.
Teams work in the open, challenge the premise, and keep mission users close enough to shape the product.
Stretch
Growth lives slightly beyond comfort.
We take on work that feels just beyond reach, then turn the gap into learning, tooling, and repeatable practice.
Our mission
Go beyond innovation theater.
We prototype quickly, test against reality, and accelerate the concepts that can survive contact with operational constraints.
01
Generate ideas continuously.
02
Turn the strongest ideas into working prototypes.
03
Scale what proves useful for national security.
