Build the structure around durable ideas.
Ten & Walker is a venture studio and intellectual property platform.
We originate and structure selected ventures, steward brands and proprietary frameworks, publish through Ten & Walker Press, and make selective investments where we can contribute more than capital.
Venture studio + IP platform · Málaga, Spain
Not every good idea should become the same thing.
Some ideas should become companies.
Some should become products, books, tools, licenses, investments, or operating assets.
Ten & Walker exists to determine the right structure, then help build and steward it.
That may mean creating a venture from the ground up, developing intellectual property before commercializing it, publishing original work, supporting an existing founder, or investing selectively when capital and studio involvement can improve the outcome.
The common denominator is not a sector.
It is durable value, clear ownership, and a structure that fits the idea.
What we do
Venture creation
We turn selected ideas into appropriately structured ventures, products, and operating models.
- proposition and category design
- customer and market validation
- business-model development
- operating structure
- distribution strategy
- pilot design and launch
- brand and venture architecture
Intellectual property
We develop and steward intellectual property that can outlive a single product or company.
- brands and trademarks
- proprietary frameworks
- assessment systems
- methodologies and tools
- licensing structures
- cross-portfolio IP architecture
- ownership and governance clarity
Publishing
Ten & Walker Press turns original intellectual work into durable published assets.
The imprint publishes systems-oriented nonfiction and related intellectual property designed to remain useful beyond a launch cycle.
Selective investment
We invest selectively where we can contribute more than capital.
That may include strategic support, positioning, distribution thinking, network access, venture architecture, or long-term alignment with the wider portfolio.
We do not operate as a broad investment fund.
Founder advisory
Some opportunities do not require a new venture or an investment.
Ten & Walker also supports selected founders at moments of transition, category formation, business-model change, and strategic repositioning.
Ten & Walker Press is the publishing imprint of Ten and Walker SL.
It publishes systems-oriented nonfiction and other durable intellectual property where the work should stand independently of the ventures around it. The imprint provides an editorial home, rights structure, and distribution layer for ideas designed to remain useful beyond a launch cycle.
Its first title is The Human OS Manual by Oscar Trelles, publishing October 15, 2026.
The Human OS Manual
Why Self-Improvement Fails When You Ignore The System Underneath
A systems manual for understanding how energy, clarity, behavior, recovery, adaptation, and healthspan are shaped by one interacting human operating system.
Structure is part of the idea.
A strong idea can still fail inside the wrong structure.
A book should not be forced into a startup.
A useful framework should not be trapped inside one service business.
A property asset should not be treated like software.
A venture that needs distribution may not need more product.
An investment may need operating support more than additional capital.
Ten & Walker works upstream of those decisions.
The question is not only whether an idea is good.
It is what the idea should become, who should own it, how it should travel, and what structure gives it the best chance of remaining useful.
Principles
Founder
Oscar Trelles is a Peruvian-American entrepreneur, author, investor, and systems thinker whose career has moved across software, digital products, media, research, commercial leadership, human performance, and venture creation.
Ten & Walker is the structural layer through which selected ideas are developed, published, organized, advised, or invested in.
Selected work
Different ideas require different structures.
Our role varies accordingly: publisher, IP steward, studio, investor, or strategic support. Some work becomes a company. Some becomes intellectual property. Some becomes a product, a publication, or a physical place.
The labels below describe Ten & Walker’s actual role rather than forcing every project into one portfolio category.
