Inflection

Inflection is a venture capital firm that backs a small number of engineering moonshots per year, built by highly driven founders working on deep technology such as defense, space, robotics, energy and AI. The firm focuses on high-conviction, asymmetric-upside investments rather than diversified portfolios, and serves early-stage hard-tech founders across sectors including aerospace, defense, robotics and computation.

Description

Inflection was founded in 2019 and describes itself as reclaiming venture capital's original spirit of conviction and serendipity rather than following standardized playbooks. The firm backs a handful of engineering moonshots per year built by what it calls 'pathologically obsessed founders,' providing intensive support when needed and otherwise staying out of the way. Its portfolio spans hard-tech and deep-tech sectors including energy infrastructure, presence security, industrial robotics, space-based positioning, autonomous fleet control, air defense, subsurface mapping, AI-driven space systems, edge processing, encrypted AI hardware acceleration, and stratospheric compute platforms, with notable past investments including Flashbots and Moonpay. The team, led by Founding GP Alexander Lange and GP Jonatan Luther-Bergquist, along with a Director, VP of Finance and Counsel based in Boston, emphasizes optimizing for asymmetric, uncapped upside rather than downside protection, and actively publishes research and commentary on venture, technology and infrastructure topics.
