100X.VC

A pre-seed / seed fund that invests ₹1.25 crore per startup using an iSAFE for 15% of future equity. It focuses on India-focused early-stage ventures. 100X.VC pioneered the use of India SAFE Notes (iSAFE) for early-stage investing and has now backed over 180 startups across successive investment classes, each culminating in an in-person Pitch Day in Mumbai attended by hundreds of HNIs, family offices and VC funds. Selection is highly competitive — recent classes have picked under 20 startups from upwards of 1,900 applicants — with founders receiving structured mentorship on product and go-to-market before pitching. Given the ₹1.25 crore, 15% equity structure, it suits Pvt Ltd or LLP entities already validated enough to commit to a fixed-terms iSAFE round rather than negotiate a priced round.
