Inflection
VC Fund
Boston, United States
Inflection is a VC fund in Boston focused on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency. We build hard futures alongside the entrepreneurs we back: hard technologies that are difficult to engineer, often fusing bits and atoms; hard markets that are unfashionable; hard to underwrite companies where no playbook exists. We write first checks between $0.5M and $2M initially and deploy with low velocity and high conviction. Our customers are heretical founders with european roots doing their life's work, like us. Our platform rests on deep, trusted relationships that formed over decades. "Where did you go to school" or "who else is investing" aren't sentences you'll hear from us. We share our thoughts candidly to unlock growth. We support our founders with all we've got, sometimes by stepping out of their way. Limited Partners are our partners and co-owners. Our capital base is purely private, such that we can think and act independently. We value outcomes over management fees. We report with conservatism and are fond of radical transparency. We expect loyalty.
