Our investment focus

Founders first.

We believe that 'Great founders build great things'. We focus our evaluation on the founders, the people, the team - and the brilliance of their ideas.

Global strategy with a focus on Europe.

We focus on backing ambitious founders in Europe and the US who are capable of building category-leading companies. We have a truly global mindset and have partnered with exceptional founders from over 14 countries.

We’re generalist investors.

As entrepreneurs ourselves, we believe in collaboration and enthusiasm for all tech industries and themes. Our focus is on partnering with exceptional founders utilizing technology to solve the world’s biggest problems.

We’re an early-stage investor.

Our fund specializes in Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A investments with initial check sizes ranging from €500k to €2.5m. A significant part of our €160 million fund is reserved for follow-ons to accompany and support our greatest portfolio champions until the pre-IPO stage. We mostly invest together with our strong network of top funds and super angels we like.

Who we are.

Our team comprises highly accomplished investors and successful serial entrepreneurs boasting an exceptional investment track record. With over 10 successful companies under our belt, we have also invested in over 300 start-ups as angels, including 15 unicorns.

As former operators, CEOs, and founders of numerous startups, we are well-versed with every high and every low of the entrepreneurial journey. Some of our ventures have failed, while others have become widely successful. Along the way, we have invested a significant portion of our returns and expertise into supporting other tech entrepreneurs. The encouragement and backing we received from our own business angels and early-stage VC partners inspired us to create the most effective and influential early-stage investor for the next wave of ambitious founders. This is how 10x Founders was born.

Our fund specializes in Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A investments with check sizes ranging from €250k to €2.5m.
