10KFounders

About200+ / 10,000

The name is the plan.

10K Founders is my project to meet 10,000 founders and film the conversations. Ten thousand is how many I intend to meet, and the number on the home page is where the project stands today.

01Why I film

What each film owes you

  1. 01

    A decision and its cost

    I ask for the moment a founder had to choose, and what it cost. The company profile is already on their website.

  2. 02

    The room, in their words

    “What exactly did you say?” gets a truer answer than “How did you do it?” I ask for the scene.

  3. 03

    One line to take with you

    Each film should leave you something to use the next morning.

  4. 04

    A reason to try again

    I make these for people early in building something of their own. The film has worked if you close it and go back to your own work.

I started this because I wanted to hear these conversations myself. I am building something of my own, too. I plan to meet builders of every kind around the world, founders and others, and I hope their stories help you on your own way. If you have feedback, write to me any time.
