About Us
We are a Startup Studio and Vision Thoughtworks Research Lab.
We are weird. Misfits. A round peg forced into a square hole — always resizing either the peg or the hole to make it fit.
We are eternal, diehard, hardcore optimists, chasing new ideas every now and then. The world sometimes mistakes us for intellectuals, even though idea after idea never quite hit the escape velocity needed to take us to the moon. Perhaps we simply practiced landing ahead of time.
And yet, somehow, a quiet wealth kept accumulating, year after year. We don't fully know how. Perhaps it's because we kept investing in boring assets that kept compounding. We always see the glass as three-quarters full — bad news doesn't touch us, it just passes by. We belong to the men in the arena. We have failed, successfully, many times — and we keep feeling successful, because we never quit, but make pivot and our next moonshot pivot is about to go live.
We don't compromise on our value system. Respect and integrity are part of our DNA, alongside a hunger for learning and creativity. Trust and relationships are our evergreen moats.
We are 100 Cofounders Lab. We're back — after nearly two years in exile, working quietly in stealth mode.
Venture Creation Studio
India is witnessing a startup tech revolution, formed with an extraordinary and unique concept for India. The ideas so generated are implemented through dedicated and determined entrepreneurs appointed through the 10 point framework of 100 CF Lab — a pool of excellent ideas and co-founders capable of bringing impactful change in the economy.
CO-FOUNDER VENTURE CREATION
Originates ingenious mobile internet and IOT ideas in-house, then appoints an ideal CEO Co-founder to launch it, with 5–15% equity subject to a pre-decided investment cap.
IDEA VENTURE CREATION
Startups where outside individuals contribute ideas that pass the 5 point framework. 100 CF invests and builds the team, awarding 15% equity subject to the cap.
RE-START VENTURE CREATION
Startups that failed to execute a great idea, on the verge of shutting down. 100 CF Lab rescues and rejuvenates, restarting with its own resources.
COMPANION VENTURE CREATION
For those with resources willing to invest for a little equity. 100 CF Lab provides guidance and connects them to the right people to quickly take off.
100 Co-founders Lab aims to establish one-of-its-own-kind ideas to bring a revolutionary change in the Indian startup ecosystem, rendering a pool of creative and impressive talent to those willing to implement ideas — raising the aspirations of individuals with innovative ideas and creative skills by providing them a big platform.
The work of Vision Thoughtworks Lab
Whitepapers compiled by 100 CF Lab and its ecosystem.
A strategic roadmap for building a robust, bottom-up startup ecosystem — covering ease of business for founders, the roles of incubators, accelerators and angel networks, venture studios and patent creation, and the funding, exits and policy shifts needed to make India a global innovation hub by 2035.
A cloud-based digital pass for common citizens that works as a "Digi Yatra" to all government offices — a powerful tool for digital governance that monitors and improves government efficiency. This is no longer a vision thoughtwork; it's already executed in key government institutions.
A strategic supplement to the Viksit Rajasthan 2047 framework, submitted to the Chief Secretary, Government of Rajasthan — proposing the innovation flywheel that turns human capital, energy economy, sovereign AI and the startup ecosystem into one compounding system.
Can a ₹2,50,000 crore Smart City be built without needing money? All we need are innovative constructs. Drawing on best practices from San Francisco, Hong Kong, Amsterdam and Reykjavik, this deck lays out a "Jaipur Leapfrog" vision — a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use, transit-connected city in a garden, built on human capital and a creative economy.
India, given its size, needs dozens of Plakshas — but the Plaksha model isn't scalable. The answer lies in a horizontal intervention across IITs, NITs and other reputed engineering colleges: a new department-cum-school of patent and technology venture creation (STVC), built on infrastructure they already have.

Co-founder Hunting
Creating a startup around the selected idea. 100 Co-founders Lab follows a structured 10 point framework while identifying CEO Co-founders. The ideal CEO Co-founder is one who…
Believes that he can raise his aspiration level to become tech giants like yahoo, facebook and google of the world from India and he is not afraid of failure.
Thinks there is a solution to every problem, no matter how long it takes.
Has a will and persistence, no matter he lacks resources.
Can think ultra big — thinking big is out of fashion, no matter people think him a fool.
Believes massive scale businesses could be achieved, no matter they begin in a garage.
Is full of energy and passion, no matter he has to slog out in the wee hours so every customer remains satisfied.
Thinks mega mobile-internet solutions can be created, marketed and sold, no matter how qualified he is.
Ready to take sweat equity and pocket money, no matter the lucrative jobs at his disposal.
Thinks his team comes first, no matter the sacrifices at an individual level.
And because taking risk gives him a kick… he is an ideal CEO co-founder.
Our 5 Point Philosophy for Every Venture Creation
India is witnessing a startup tech revolution — ideas that could start in a garage yet hold the potential of becoming massively scalable. One idea, out of hundreds debated, is able to pass through the following 5 point framework.
Every person should be a customer for the business idea.
He is a repetitive customer for the said business idea.
The idea could be started in a garage.
Need near zero-employee organization to execute the idea.
Idea should be heavy on Mobile Internet.
