10.10.10 Announces Its Most Diverse Group of Entrepreneurs for Its June 2017 Health Program
Denver, CO, June 6, 2017–10.10.10, the Denver-based non-profit Venture Generator, today announced the 10 Prospective CEOs, successful entrepreneurs from across the United States that will make up the third cohort of 10.10.10 Health. Its most diverse array of entrepreneurs thus far, this year’s cohort celebrates a range of minorities and women, seeking to promote diversity within the health and technology sector. Over the course of 10 days these CEOS will come together to explore, discover, understand and confront 10 wicked problems in health with the ultimate goal to create a new venture based on a new product or service that can change the world. The 10 CEOS began the 10 day program on June 5th.
“Our program has been designed to identify serial entrepreneurs, prospective CEOs, and give them the tools and context to identify extraordinary opportunities that may live outside their life experience,” said Tom Higley, 10.10.10’s Founder & CEO. “Each year, we learn more about how to support these remarkable people with the resources they need to explore and develop market based ventures that address wicked problems.”
Since the program launched in June 2015, 20 entrepreneurs have graduated from 10.10.10’s health program. In total, the entrepreneurs have created 5 new ventures, raised millions in funding, and have helped to craft solutions to wicked problems in health.
Spencer Hutchins, Founder and CEO of Concert Health and Former 10.10.10 Alum stated, “10.10.10 is a phenomenal Venture Generator. The structure of program, coupled with the energy and expertise of their network of supporters helped accelerate my learning about the US-behavioral health system by 10x. Concert Health would not exist without my time there, and I am excited to see what amazing ventures comes out of the program this year.”
“The 10 CEOs will experience a life changing event over the next 10 days. The program will challenge them intellectually, it will expand how they see the world, it will unfold a sea of endless possibilities, and they will be forever changed. ” said Frank Ricotta, CEO of BurstIQ and Former 10.10.10 Alum. “10 days in many aspects seems like a long time, but in other ways, it was not long enough. BurstIQ was the first company to launch from the inaugural program in 2015. During those 10 days we set the foundation that accelerated the company’s development. More importantly, during those 10 days, I developed a bond with my cohort CEOs that will last a lifetime, several are now some of my dearest friends.”

- Bryon Bhagwandin
