History
10x Management was founded in 2001[3] when Altay Guvench, a musician and programmer, was approached by Michael Solomon and Rishon Blumberg to help negotiate a deal as a programmer. The founders are former entertainment industry managers.[4] That was the moment when they realized that the next rock stars were likely to be tech stars, which made them starting a new company.[5]
In September 2020 Solomon and Blumberg published the book Game Changer. How to Be 10x in the Talent Economy.[6] The book is about how to attract, retain and manage top talents especially in the tech field.[7]
