10x Founders reveals secret about 160 million euro fund

200 founders have so far invested a total of 160 million euros in a fund that the founding partners launched back in 2021. They have made 27 investments since then, and now they are revealing the secret of the investor network.

10x Founders is venturing into the public eye for the first time, presenting a 160 million euro fund backed by 200 founders. The investor network already joined forces in April 2021 and has since made 27 investments, but so far all in secret. Now the network, whose founders include well-known names in the start-up scene, is going public for the first time.

With 10x Founders, the partners involved want to support mainly European start-ups in early stages. The network has 160 million euros at its disposal for this purpose. The money comes from more than 200 entrepreneurs and 50 angel investors, who also support the startups with knowledge and contacts. Founding partners Felix Haas, Andreas Etten, Andrej Henkler, Claudius Jablonka, Jan Becker, Jan Reichelt and Robert Wuttke are also well-connected in the startup world and are involved in startups such as Adyen, Palantir, Tier Mobility and Volocopter.

"We believe it is a perfect time to invest in early-stage startups in Europe. Opportunities and talent are everywhere, especially in a fast-changing world like ours," says 10x Founders Managing Partner Jan Reichelt. "To fully realize this potential, we are connecting the best founders to our network of entrepreneurial investors with 10x Founders."

Felix Haas, also Founding Partner, says: " We are pioneering the concept of radically open exchange and sharing of knowledge within a trusted community in Europe. Sharing investment opportunities, experiences and non-googleable knowledge greatly improves the chances of European startups to become global tech champions."
