How we do it

We start by asking: ‘What’s the best way to scale your impact?’. This invites social ventures to rethink the norm and step into a new mindset. At 100x, we focus on something called ‘Endgame Theory’. Rather than repeatedly raising capital to grow your business, we help you figure out the best endgames or models for scaling. These are things like partnerships, government adoption, digitisation, and open source solutions. We combine these endgames with entrepreneurial action to evolve your venture and skyrocket your impact.
