Jan Reichelt built 10x Founders as a by-founders-for-founders network fund where over 200 successful entrepreneurs and 50 angels serve as LPs and co-investors, focusing on sharing non-googleable knowledge rather than just providing capital. As an operator-turned-VC who built Mendeley and Kopernio into globally used academic products and ran Web of Science at Clarivate, he brings unusually deep hands-on experience in how universities, publishers, and researchers actually adopt software at scale.
