Hot off the press… The Independent Investor just published an In-Depth article and interview on 100X authored by Managing Editor Ron Castro. He writes of a _“*growing alliance of contrarians*… opening the floodgates for Filipinos to experience a whole new way to startup, scale and solve some of the country’s most important problems.”_

We’re thrilled to be part of this “growing alliance doing their part to bring down the walls” and invite you again to see and experience 100X during our February 12 Open House. Hope to see you there!

100X drivers argue that the traditional build-vs-invest model wastes critical time and fragments the learning cycles necessary for compounding wins

You got it here first. The inside scoop on 100X EXPEDITION 2026, TBA by partner organizations over the next 24 hours.

Last year, we found 7. This year, can we find 10-15 100X founders to build-invest with so we can deploy US$ 500,000-1,000,000 per venture over the next 18 months? And do it again next year, and the year after, and so on ?

EXPEDITION 2026 will allow us to answer this call with a resounding YES, WE DID!

Why “Expedition"? To see is not to believe; you have to experience 100X.

All starts 12 Feb 2026. Click the RSVP button and be there when shots are fired .
