What Factor 10 ventures does

Factor 10 Ventures is a Barcelona-based, privately-held management advisory and investment firm founded in 2020. It is operated by two named principals — David Huguet and Nicolas Standaert — who together hold over 40 years of combined experience across corporate CEO leadership, strategy, change management, turnarounds and exits (Huguet, with focus on Tech, Digital and Telecom) and serial entrepreneurship and startup scaling in the tech sector (Standaert). The firm engages with senior management, investors, and lenders of small and midcap companies that are in transition, providing an integrated service stack covering cash management, business model refinement, organization and governance restructuring, and change management execution. Delivery modalities include Board advisory, CEO mentorship, and hands-on interim CEO placements, with the firm also co-investing capital, resources, and time in selected client projects.

The underlying "technology" of the firm is the experience of its two partners rather than a software platform; there are no proprietary products, AI components, APIs, or patents disclosed, and the only integration referenced is Google reCAPTCHA on the contact form. The revenue model is professional services: consulting and advisory fees earned under custom, quote-based, multi-year engagements, supplemented by investment returns on co-invested capital where applicable. GTM is sales-led, driven by direct outreach to C-suite, boards, and shareholders, supported by a minimal online presence (single corporate website) and referral-based demand from professional networks. No public pricing, customer logos, awards, certifications, or institutional investors are disclosed.
