who we are
xdeck was founded by Oliver Steinki, rooted in the entrepreneurial experience and spirit shaped together with his co founders at FOND OF.
One conviction stayed with him. Early stage founders need more than capital. They need honest challenge and partners who understand the journey.
"When we started FOND OF, we would have loved a platform like xdeck. A place that supports you and pushes you to think bigger from day one."
