Your data

  • Raw problem statements are never published — only you and platform admins can see them.
  • AI anonymization runs before anything goes live, and you approve the final brief before publishing.
  • Pitch decks are only visible to you and the owner of the challenge you apply to.
  • Text you submit (problem, application, cover note) is processed by an AI model (Google Gemini via a gateway) for anonymization, fit scoring and spam filtering.
  • We don't use tracking or advertising cookies. See the Datenschutzerklärung for details.

Free during Alpha

Alpha is 100% free for startups and corporates. Founding corporates keep free access through Beta. Startups will always use oppoX for free; future monetization will be a success fee paid only by corporates when an oppoX introduction leads to a funded pilot.

This is the venture client model

oppoX runs on the venture client model: the corporate buys a paid pilot instead of taking equity, and the startup gets revenue and a reference customer instead of a cohort badge.
