Founder-In-Residence (SEA)

Join 100x100: From Idea to Impact, Together

🚀 Start Date: January or March 2027 | Location: SEA | Full Time

Who We Are

100x100 is Southeast Asia’s leading VC backed climate-tech venture builder. We co-found startups with experienced entrepreneurs to tackle the world’s biggest emission challenges. With 25+ companies across 9 countries, we’re building the next wave of transformative climate-tech startups.

Our Mission

To create companies that each cut 100 million metric tonnes of CO₂e and generate $100M+ in revenue.

The Process

Forget cohorts or pre-baked venture ideas.

You’ll join us as a Founder-in-Residence for 6 months to build from zero alongside your dedicated venture-building team.

We start with the problem, not the product.

We don’t work with founders who already have a solution in hand — we’re looking for those open to exploring new problem spaces, testing hypotheses, and building what the market truly needs.

Together, we’ll:

• Identify a massive climate problem worth solving

• Validate market and business model hypotheses

• Build early traction and prepare for funding

• You’ll then co-found and lead your own startup— with our continued support.

Who You Are

• Experienced founder/operator: You’ve built, scaled, or led high-growth businesses before—whether in tech, supply chains, manufacturing, energy, or agriculture—and know what operational excellence looks like.

• Field-tested: You’ve spent time on the ground—talking to customers, managing teams in factories, farms, or logistics hubs—and understand how to turn real-world problems into scalable solutions.

• Mission-driven: You’re committed to solving climate challenges at scale and see entrepreneurship as a lever for impact.

• Open-minded: No product or pitch decks please—just curiosity, commercial instinct, and a hunger to explore big problems.

• Resilient: You thrive in ambiguity, adapt fast, and know that building something meaningful takes grit.

• Ready: You have a sufficient financial runway and can commit full-time to building your next venture.

Why Build With Us?

• Proven insights: Access proprietary research and validated problem spaces across decarbonization sectors.

• Founder-led model: You’re the CEO, with up to 70% equity ownership.

• Funding-ready: We invest up to USD $500K seed capital and follow-on support from top VCs.

• Hands-on co-founders: We’re not just investors—we’re your product, growth, and fundraising partners.

• Financial support: SGD $5K/month stipend + travel and team budget during the Founder-in-Residence phase.
