Michael Hiles Bio

Michael Hiles is a business executive with multiple startup and early stage company experience. He is a
technology solutions architect with marketing, business operations, and financial experience. Michael
began developing software on mainframe systems at an early age in the late 1970’s. He has over 40 years
of software and data architecture and development experience.

Michael started his career in the early 1990s as a software developer for Sabre Systems and Services,
which later became Manatron – a provider of property tax appraisal solutions for local county
governments.

In 1995, Michael founded SoftLynx Interactive, one of the first web development companies in the
Cincinnati, Ohio, area.

In 2000, Michael sought to bring web technology to other industries. He became the lead internet
architect for Proware, a Cincinnati-based govtech software provider. Proware builds judicial management
solutions, and the team won a Computerworld Smithsonian Laureate Award for being the first to ever
connect a judicial system to the world wide web (courtclerk.org).

In 2012, Michael served as President of the Board of Directors for the Franklin County Economic
Development Commission in Franklin County, Indiana. While acting as board president, Michael’s efforts
led to the creation of a local business development TIF district and relocation of a large manufacturing
plant (Uni-Ref) into a vacant facility, creating many career-wage jobs.

In 2016, Michael launched the Cincinnati chapter of Founder Institute, the local operation for the Silicon
Valley-based global accelerator founded by Adeo Ressi. In three years, the local accelerator launched
nearly 30 companies each with pre-money valuations of $1 million.

Early in 2017, Michael formalized the founding team of 10XTS and launched the company, subsequently
attracting immediate attention in the marketplace. Michael frequently speaks at events and conferences
and advises industry and policy leaders.
