Jan Reichelt is the Founding Partner and General Partner at 10x Founders, a Munich-based early-stage investment fund backed by over 200 entrepreneurs and angels, following his success as co-founder of Mendeley (acquired by RELX/Elsevier) and Kopernio (acquired by Clarivate). His investment thesis targets ambitious tech founders in Europe, with a focus on early-stage companies in sectors related to his background in academic technology, scientific collaboration, and digital information services. While specific check sizes and lead/follow behavior are not publicly detailed, 10x Founders operates as a network-driven investor rather than a traditional venture firm. Notable portfolio companies include Mendeley and Kopernio, which he founded and exited, though his current venture fund’s external portfolio is not fully enumerated in available sources. Reichelt has publicly discussed whether former entrepreneurs are better investors, emphasizing his dual identity as an entrepreneur at heart and a network-driven investor. He was awarded “European Founder of the Year” by TechCrunch/The Europas, reflecting his distinctive credibility as a builder-turned-investor.
