who we are


We are seed-funded by the founders of FOND OF. "The idea for xdeck came about when we started building THE SHIP, the new home of our company. Our mission at xdeck is to provide a platform for ambitious founding teams to accelerate their growth and thus transform revolutionary ideas into successful business models."
our vision
- Becoming Europe's #1 growth platform for revolutionary ideas: We work with founders to create lasting businesses and want to be part of their journeys.
- Fostering diversity in entrepreneurship: We take concrete action to push diversity, starting with empowering female and migrant founders.
- Making a difference for the future: We work with universities and school kids to educate them about entrepreneurship and tackling the challenges of tomorrow. We support the next generation of successful founders!
