Jan Reichelt is a seed investor at Kopernio in London focused on Software and Events. An entrepreneur at heart, I've spent my professional career in tech startups, online businesses, professional information services, and digital media. I started and exited two companies and I've been awarded "European Founder of the Year 2013" by TechCrunch / The Europas. Now I'm a Founding Partner of 10x Founders, anetwork-driven investor backed by over 200 entrepreneurs and angels.My focus is on emerging digital companies, online business strategy, as well as digital publishing, education, and information services sitting between B2C and B2B. After working as an advisor to the supervisory board of SAP, I started Mendeley, which was acquired by Reed Elsevier in April 2013. I was responsible for running and further growing Mendeley and helping with Reed Elsevier's digital transformation.I then started Kopernio, a platform to help millions of researchers to access academic journal articles with one click. Kopernio was acquired by Clarivate in 2018, where I became responsible for Web of Science, the world's most authoritative academic database.
