You've never met anyone like us
VC is our 100X lab, talent supply & demand our 100X market and mission

ANDRE YAP

CEO, Ignite House of Innovation

You've never met anyone like us. Because our day job is early-stage VC, the greatest and often only asset we're funding is human capital that must perform at superhuman levels to hurdle 100X ROI targets.

This is the unique skill set we bring: VC is the business of investing in people and empowering their inner superhero--that 100X Ethos. In the past decade, we've invested hundreds of millions PhP in people who make the impossible happen everyday: people who create vastly better (100X) tomorrows by building vastly high-performing (100X) teams and culture today.

This is the only way we make money. In VC, if we fail to operationalize peak performance in the people we're invested in, our companies don't survive. We lose our money.

From our world of VC and startups, to corporate and academe-- wherever we find Filipino talent at scale. We bring 100X performance: data-driven, battle-tested, relentlessly honed best practices that have helped us operationalize innovation (problem solving at scale) and a culture of customer ownership (intelligent malasakit!), which are the backbones of 100X performance

This is what it means to Ignite: individuals, teams and organizations to their greatest growth and impact.

Right here, right now
Who, What, How we're 100Xing right now

1 We 100X by 10X.

As VC, we partner with our portfolio companies to drive 100X ROI by 10Xing Customer Impact.

Where “X” means Multiple. The proof of the pudding is in the multiplying.

Here’s the math: 100X Multiples derive from capacity to deliver 10X Customer Impact @Scale; which derives from 100X Culture & Operating System that demands from and empowers each individual/team to keep 10Xing their Customer Impact @Scale.

2 We 100X as a Cohort.

We invest and support up to 8 portfolio companies at a time— we 100X them together, maximizing and accelerating learnings, cross-pollinations, synergies, network effects, etc.

We 100X as First Principle Platforms.

First Principle means the customer problems we're solving cannot be further reduced to a more basic root cause. Thus, our solution is foundational— and therefore...

Platform means many other parties (people, teams, organizations) build on top of our first principle solution in order to run their stack of 2nd/3rd/4th principle solutions.

4 We 100X as a Nexus.

Each cohort includes deep partnerships with fellow VCs, startups (beyond our 8 portcos), power institutions (business, government, academe), and super talent.

Our KPI is to max win-win synergies and collabs across our nexus. We are the 100X tide that lifts all boats.

From Venture Capital to Virtuous Capital.
How our 100X VC drives 100X Operating Systems for all of you

WHY 5VC

Data does not lie. Based on our prior decade of pushing extreme (100X) peak performance (particularly innovation-driven quantum leaps) in both corporate and startup settings, we’ve found that the highest performing individuals and teams consistently use a kind of Virtuous Cycle that powers all kinds of breakthrough (100X) growth.

This Virtuous Cycle holds true for giant corporations as much as for startups, the key difference being velocity and time to impact (big companies take much more time).

HOW IT WORKS

Specifically, peak performers utilize 5 distinct, but interconnected cycles of Virtuous Capital (beyond just financial capital), where each cycle of capital builds on and then builds up the other cycles.

In so doing, these 5 Cycles of Virtuous Capital (5VC) enable the highest levels of (100X) peak performance— a virtuous cycle of growth and success, specifically when measured in financial returns (both personal and corporate ROI), market impact, and unrivaled team morale.

MEET THE 5VC

Feel free to take a quick diagnostic of where you're at with each cycle of capital.

Capacity to continuously grow and build on my authentic sense of self– the deeper and deeper truths about Who I am, Why I’m here, What I’m born to do, What gives me joy, What I care about deeply, etc. Self Capital works like a personal navigation system (GPS) for life: to steer through life’s twists and turns (career, relationships, passion, purpose, mission, etc.); to continuously deepen my commitment, resilience and impact in my chosen paths; and to resist the lures, detours and dead-ends of false ambition, insecurity, fear, doubt, trying to be like others/someone I am not, etc. Self Capital is my capacity to stand for my authentic self in the journey of life.

💬 Where I’m at with my Self Capital: 0-10

Self Capital

Network Capital

Capacity to continuously grow and build on the # of hi-caliber people who know what I authentically stand for and are thus eager to collaborate with me (because I fit/complement what they authentically stand for); and vice verse, # of hi-caliber people I know and am eager to collaborate with. Network Capital is measured in quality, not quantity of network. In fact, a bigger network of the wrong people leads to negative Network Capital– I will simply get into more trouble more often with more people! Network Capital is heavily influenced by Self Capital– the more we know who we really are and what we really want in life, the better we will attract the right kind of people.

💬 Where I’m at with my Network Capital: 0-10

Human Capital

Capacity to continuously grow and build on the # of hi-caliber people I am actually collaborating with (be it via employment, projects, investments, boards, advisors, partnerships, etc). Human Capital is thus one of the most critical direct drivers of Success Capital. In our increasingly cutthroat knowledge-driven markets, nothing will help or hinder my capacity to create/deliver value like the the talented, passionate people I have on my side. In 5VC, Human Capital is directly rooted in Network Capital, which in turn is heavily influenced by Self Capital.

💬 Where I’m at with my Human Capital: 0-10

Success Capital

Capacity to continuously grow and build on my value/Impact created and thus value captured, as measured in my financial performance (salary, income, net worth, ROI, etc.) and overall career/business growth. More and more in our fast-paced tech-driven world, my Success Capital is disproportionately driven by my capacity to deliver hi-impact innovations and solutions that work at scale. Which is why my Success Capital is so heavily dependent on my Human Capital– because this kind of hi-impact innovation and creative problem-solving demands the very best people and teams.

💬 Where I’m at with my Success Capital: 0-10

Life Capital

Capacity to continuously grow and build on my personal sense of joy, meaning, impact and fulfillment– this is ultimately what we want in life. When we reflect on the prior 4 cycles of capital, this is where all roads lead. From Self Capital, to Network and Human Capital, to Success Capital– everything we do comes down to how rich we are in joy, meaning, impact and fulfillment.

10 Chapters of our Vision Story.
Help us write (and win!) Chapters 4-6...

01 100X VC, 100X STARTUPS

Invest in super talent and drive 100X ROI & Impact.

Real Labs: VC Portfolio (extreme sports, multiple startups, diverse fields) accelerates Ignite's 100X R&D and cross-pollination of what really works to drive real 100X Peak Performance.

02 100X FOR HUMANS: FROM VC TO 5VC (VIRTUOUS CAPITAL)

Humanize 100X: address whole spectrum/hierarchy of human needs/wants (not just performance).

5VC is Ignite's humanistic whole-person model applicable to/by individuals, teams, orgs: (1) Self-Capital; (2) Network Capital; (3) Human Capital; (4) Success (Value Creation & Capture) Capital; (5) Life Capital.

03 100X O/S: IGNITE CENTRE FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE

Run dedicated platform to power 100X O/S @Scale.

Add/Integrate: Fitness Metaphor & Mechanics (Content/Workouts x Frequency x Continuity); Data; Science; Art; Media; Tech & AI. Thus, IGNITE 100X O/S relentlessly gets better (deeper, more scale, greater impact) everyday, forever.

04 100X WORK: IGNITE O/S FOR BIZ & GOVT (EMPLOYERS)

Ignite 100X O/S to power Filipino talent @Scale (Demand/Employers).

Early Adopter Focus. Biz/Gov orgs that employ Filipino talent by the hundreds/thousands-- ROI as powerful incentives to adopt 100X O/S.

05 100X STUDENT LEADERS: YOUNG FELLOWS IIR

Ignite 100X O/S to power Filipino talent @Scale (Supply/Talent).

Early Adopter Focus. Full scholarship 100X-In-Residence Fellowships for college student leaders who already demo 2X behavior/instincts. Show 10X win-win for Talent Demand-Supply. YF-IIR also creates For-Students, By-Students presence in 100s of campuses.

06 100X COLLEGES: THE GUILD 100 FINISHING SCHOOL

Scale I00X O/S to power 100,000s of graduates annually. (Supply/Talent).

100X O/S doesn't replace school-- students still take their majors and classes. Instead, 100X O/S complements-- like a finishing school that bridges graduates to be 100X Peak Performers in the real world.

07 100X TALENT MARKETPLACE: SKILLING, CREDENTIALING

De facto we would radically transform PH Talent Marketplace-- in the way talent supply is 100X skilled and credentialed and in the way employers demand 100X skills and credentials.

To drive this new Talent Marketplace 2.0 will require new signaling mechanisms @Scale-- to replace School/Major/GPA/etc with more 100X-credible signals.

08 100X CLASS: ARMY OF FILIPINO 100X INNOVATORS

In so doing we would birth a new class of Filipino Citizen Innovators, who can solve systemic problems @Scale.

Innovation does not happen without Innovators. 100X Peak Performance (ROI, Impact, Scale) does not happen without 100X Peak Performers.

09 100X PH: ATTACK WICKED PROBLEMS @SCALE

100X impact on poverty, health, education, livelihood................

Name the wicked problem-- finally we have an army of Filipino Innovators who learned and trained 100X in context-- in their own locales where these wicked problems persist. Who better to solve these systemic problems @Scale.

10 100X WORLD: FILIPINO IMPACT AT GLOBAL SCALE

The above* are not uniquely Filipino: they are global problems that persist in every nation and society. In Ignite 100X O/S, do we have a shot at being the first Filipino venture that impacts humanity at a global scale?

*In essence: education/skilling systems ill-fitted to innovation, thus wicked problems persist and remain unaddressed.
