In 2014, 10KC was founded to democratize opportunity in the workplace.
10KC was born from conversations with CEOs and Fortune 500 leaders who recognized the power of peer connections in driving talent development but saw how these interactions were often left to chance and lacked measurable impact.
Driven by a mission to democratize opportunity, our co-founders, Dave Wilkin and Elliott Garcea, set out to change this. They envisioned a platform that would empower every employee with equitable access to the best talent development experiences.
What began as a tool to make unbiased connections between employees later evolved into the leading platform for inclusive mentoring and networking.
Today, under the leadership of CEO Rose Bentley, 10KC is poised for continued growth and innovation in the mentoring space.
"I'm honored to join 10KC and excited about the journey ahead. Together, we will strive to achieve new heights, innovate with purpose, and build a culture of customer obsession that reflects our shared values and vision. I look forward to working alongside each of you as we embark on this exciting chapter."
We believe in the power of social learning – the learning that happens through workplace relationships and shared experiences. Traditional training provides a solid foundation, but it's the connections we make with colleagues that truly accelerate growth.
10KC is designed to foster these connections at scale. Our platform facilitates purposeful connections and guided conversations between employees to build key relationships, transfer critical knowledge, and develop new skills that drive productivity and performance.
Industry leaders like RBC, EY, AIG, and Nike trust 10KC to tackle key talent priorities such as upskilling managers, equipping leaders for change, developing high-potential talent, integrating teams after M&A, and driving customer-centric growth.
