At 100X.VC, we are confident that each startup of Class 02 is capable of becoming a leader in its space," said Ninad Karpe, Partner at 100X.VC.
The sector-agnostic fund will focus its investments in companies across a broad range of industries, picking startups with disruptive business models, high growth, and scale. The investment size for each early-stage startup would range from $30,000 to $140,000. The fund size has not been disclosed, but sources pegged it at $5 million.
Sanjay Mehta, Founder and Partner at 100X.VC, said, “The time has come for us in India to make a huge leap in investing in startups, using globally successful models that will lend depth and scale to the VC industry. When startups become part of the 100X.VC ecosystem, they will get all that they truly need.”
