×10x Co-Founders Lab

We are building 1,000 companies. One of them could be yours.

The Lab turns proven builders into co-founders. You bring the idea and the work. We bring capital, method, distribution, and the operators who have done it five times. You hold equity from day one.

PRE-APPROVED
THE DEAL, IN PLAIN TERMS
EQUITY

You are a co-founder, not employee number one. Your stake is on paper at incorporation.

STIPEND

Paid monthly so you can build full-time. No side job required.

BUDGET

Pre-approved ideas come with pre-approved money: tools, infrastructure, and first customers.

METHOD

The 10x operating system: agent playbooks, FlyRank for distribution, Power Commerce for commerce builds, and weekly access to operators with five exits behind them.

EXACT FIGURES ARE IN THE FOUNDER AGREEMENT YOU REVIEW BEFORE YOU COMMIT. WE PUT NUMBERS ON PAPER, NOT ON WEBSITES.

What you get, and what we expect.

We expect full effort, weekly shipping, and honest numbers. Ideas must pass the pre-approval gate: a real problem, a reachable buyer, and a path to revenue inside 12 months.

Full effort. The Lab is not a side project.

×

Weekly shipping, on an operating cadence with your 10x mentor.

×

Honest numbers, every week, even when they are bad.

50,000 interns across 135+ countries. The Lab takes the top of that funnel.

The FlyRank internship program is the #1 AI internship in the world: 50,000+ people trained across 135+ countries, on six tracks from AI fluency to agent engineering, with mentors from FlyRank's leadership and guests from Praella, BattlBox, and Bloomteq. Graduates who ship exceptional capstone work get invited to pitch the Lab. Outside builders apply directly with an idea.

The internship is free education, open to anyone. The Lab is a separate, selective program for builders ready to co-found.

How it works

STEP 1
Apply

One form, one idea, evidence you can ship. Internship graduates attach their verified credential.

STEP 2
Pre-approval

We pressure-test the idea against the Method's Map stage: volume, repeatability, buyer, payback.

STEP 3
Build

Stipend and budget switch on. Weekly cadence with your 10x mentor. FlyRank distribution from day one.

STEP 4
Company

Incorporation, your equity on paper, and a path: revenue, follow-on backing, or a place in the 10x portfolio.

Why 1,000 companies is the goal, and why it is not a stunt.

Software companies used to need 50 people to reach revenue. An AI-first founder with the right playbooks, distribution, and supervision needs a fraction of that. We believe the next decade belongs to fleets of small, profitable, AI-native companies, and that the constraint is not capital. It is trained builders with skin in the game.

We have the builder pipeline: 50,000 and growing. We have the playbooks: five exits' worth. We have the distribution: 1B+ organic impressions. The Lab is the machine that connects them.

Before you apply.

Do I need to be an internship graduate?
No. Graduates attach a verified credential; outside builders attach evidence they ship. The bar is the same for both.
Can I apply from anywhere?
Yes. The program is remote, like our 100+ person team across three continents. Bosnia Challenge weeks happen in Sarajevo.
Who owns the IP?
The company you co-found owns its IP, and you own equity in that company from day one. The founder agreement spells it out before you write a line of code.
What ideas get pre-approved?
A real problem, a reachable buyer, and a path to revenue inside 12 months. We score ideas the same way we score client processes: volume, repeatability, payback.
What if the idea fails?
Most first ideas do. You keep what you learned and your standing in the pipeline, and your next pre-approved idea is a shorter application. Stipend and equity treatment are covered plainly in the agreement.

One form. One idea.

Show us you ship, and bring a problem worth multiplying.
