Inflection is a first-check venture firm investing in the open economy.We are a team of venture investors and entrepreneurs with diverse backgrounds based out of Berlin, Boston, and Munich complemented by a global network of innovators. We perceive ourselves as a startup company, not an established venture fund. We incentivize our founders andcommunity through ownership. We take risks and experiment. We run nodes, govern crypto networks, write code, and scale DAOs. Our investment process is radically transparent and doesn't take more than 10 days from initial call to an investment decision. "Which school did you go to?", "You are too early." or "Who else is investing?" are sentences you won't hear from us. We initially invest between $500k and $1.5M in the earliest stages across equity and cryptographic assets of all sorts. We cover European markets first but have a global mandate.
