Overview

100X.VC is a pioneering venture capital firm that invests in early-stage Indian startups using founder-friendly India SAFE Notes (Simple Agreement for Future Equity). Its mission is to identify and empower nascent businesses across the country, providing strategic capital and extensive guidance to help them grow.

The program provides a fixed investment of ₹1.25 crore per startup, structured as an iSAFE note that converts to 15% future equity. This mechanism defers valuation discussions to a later funding round, allowing founders to focus on product development and market entry. The investment is disbursed directly to the startup's bank account after legal compliance and due diligence.

Beyond capital, 100X.VC offers substantial non-monetary support. Selected startups join an exclusive 6-week in-person HomeRun Masterclass Series in Mumbai, featuring a structured curriculum on product-market fit, fundraising, and leadership. Participants gain insights from industry experts, mentors, and successful founders. They also gain access to 100X.VC's extensive network of advisors, corporates, and alumni founders. The program culminates in a VC Pitch Day, where portfolio companies present to top-tier investors to secure follow-on funding.
