Investment thesis
Inflection reclaims venture capital's original spirit of conviction over conformity, backing only a handful of engineering moonshots each year led by deeply obsessed founders. Operating in what it sees as an era of hyper volatility that creates generational opportunities, the firm seeks exposure to highly convex, big-if-true ventures. It embraces high write-off rates as a feature and optimizes for asymmetric, uncapped upside rather than downside protection. Run by operators and engineers, Inflection supports founders intensively when needed and stays out of the way otherwise, prioritizing outcomes over management fees.
