Andy Davis, co-founder, 10x10 Capital

The life of an entrepreneur is a busy one. There are hectic schedules, jam-packed with calls with founders, clients, journalists, and more. With so much responsibility to juggle, entrepreneurs need agility in every part of their work lives. For Andy Davis, the cofounder of 10x10 Capital, a UK-based venture capitalist company that invests in Black founders, a smart, flexible device that can seamlessly adapt to his ever-changing schedule is an absolute priority.

Davis initially founded 10x10 in 2015 as a WhatsApp group for the Black VC community because "as a Black entrepreneur, I noticed the need for a fund run by Black investors specifically supporting early-stage Black founders on their business journeys." It grew into an official VC fund in 2022, a transition that required further multitasking, responsibility, and organization for Davis.
