100x
Multiplied by hundred
A hundredfold increase or improvement.
The term comes from startup and investment culture, where 100x describes exponential returns: We're looking for 100x growth, a 100x return on investment.
It has spread to general usage for dramatic multiplication of anything: This tool makes me 100x more productive.
Often hyperbolic.
