10x Founders reveals secret of 160 million euro fund

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

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

With 10x Founders, the partners involved mainly want to support European start-ups in the 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 start-ups with knowledge and contacts. The founding partners Felix Haas, Andreas Etten, Andrej Henkler, Claudius Jablonka, Jan Becker, Jan Reichelt and Robert Wuttke also have excellent networks in the start-up world and are involved in start-ups such as Adyen, Palantir, Tier Mobility and Volocopter.

"We believe it is a perfect time to invest in early-stage start-ups in Europe. Opportunities and talent are everywhere, especially in a fast-changing world like ours," says 10x Founders Managing Partner Jan Reichelt. "In order to fully exploit this potential, 10x Founders integrates the best founders into our network of entrepreneurial investors."

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