Positioned as an open community, Inflection pushes boundaries to advance human-machine collaboration, offering networks, capital, and insights to founders. Their team of investors, entrepreneurs, engineers, and researchers hail from varied locations including Berlin, Boston, Munich, and Stockholm, complemented by a global network of innovators. Inflection perceives itself as a startup, not a traditional venture fund, and incentivizes founders and their community through ownership in the fund. They are willing to take risks and experiment. The pandemic has influenced their view on the shift towards re-onshoring key technologies, highlighting a transition from free markets to protectionist economies and a movement into a geopolitical era of conflict. Inflection values the concept of sovereign computation, which holds that rapid advancements in information and biotechnology will accelerate our move into the information age, as reflected in their investment ethos. They maintain an active role in the startup ecosystem by providing resources and support to disruptive innovators, long-term oriented investors, service providers, scientists, artists, researchers, and those with a curious mind.
