The 10x Startup Club Is Open, and So Is the Startup Directory
A free, year-round registry of B2B startups, and the public directory that goes with it.
We have run accelerator batches since 2017. Seven of them, and the alumni have raised more than 650 million euros between them.
Batches have an obvious limitation. They start, they end, and if a founder finds us in month two of a twelve-month cycle, the answer is come back next year. Meanwhile our corporate partners scout continuously, and the question we get most often from them is not "who is in the current batch" but "who do you know working on this specific problem".
The 10x Startup Club is our answer to both. It is a curated registry of B2B startups from Austria, CEE and beyond, open all year, and free.
What it is
A permanent membership rather than a programme with an end date. No cohort, no fixed curriculum, no equity, no fee.
Any B2B startup can apply, at any stage, from just founded through to scaleup. There is no revenue requirement. What we look for is a real product, a real team, and a problem worth solving for business customers.
What members get
Corporate matchmaking. When one of our 45+ corporate partners scouts in a field where you fit, you are in the set we put in front of them. This is the core of it.
Speaking and pitch slots. At hub events, at Future Forward each November, and at the CEE Forum.
Closed formats. Invite-only workshops and mentor sessions that are not publicly listed.
Event access. Free and discounted tickets across our event calendar, which runs to more than a hundred events a year.
A directory profile. Public, searchable, and sitting alongside our accelerator alumni.
How to join
A short online form, about two minutes. Then a video conversation of roughly half an hour, so we understand what you are building well enough to introduce you accurately. Intake runs continuously, and we also invite companies directly.
Membership is open-ended and you can leave whenever you want.
The startup directory
The directory is the public face of the club. It lists members alongside alumni from the accelerator years, searchable by what companies do rather than by batch number.
It exists for three groups. Corporate innovation teams use it to find companies working on a specific problem. Investors use it as deal flow. Founders use it to find each other, which turns out to be the use we underestimated most.
Among the alumni you will find companies like Refurbed, which has raised 131 million euros, and Fiskaly at 125 million. Most entries are earlier than that, which is the point.

If you are a corporate looking for startups in a specific field, talk to us and we will search the club for you rather than sending you a list to read.
