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 and community 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.

Async Art is helping to create a new art revolution built on the Ethereum blockchain. Our users create, collect, and trade programmable art comprising a Master work and Layers that are independently owned and controlled: our users become part of the art themselves. Imagine pointing to a landscape painting and knowing that you own the sky or the stars. Meanwhile, an anonymous collector in Tokyo owns the lone figure in the background and an AI in London controls the snaking river running through the piece. All three of you alter the painting at any time within parameters designed by the artist. You might, depending on your artistic whim, change the sky from day to night while the Tokyo collector may lie dormant for years... throughout the entire time, the AI adjusts the saturation of the river’s water based on daily stock market volatility. Welcome to 21st century art.

Decred is a cryptocurrency, similar to Bitcoin, with a strong focus on community input, open governance and sustainable funding and development. It utilizes a hybrid “proof-of-work” and “proof-of-stake” mining system to ensure that a small group cannot dominate the flow of transactions or make changes to Decred without the input of the community. A unit of currency is called a ‘decred’ (DCR). To ensure the integrity of the currency and prevent people from making fraudulent transactions or creating their own coins, Decred uses a method of recording transactions known as a blockchain.
Zcash offers total payment confidentiality, while still maintaining a decentralized network using a public blockchain. Unlike Bitcoin, Zcash transactions automatically hide the sender, recipient, and value of all transactions on the blockchain. Only those with the correct view key can see the contents. Users have complete control and can opt-in to provide others with their view key at their discretion. Zcash transactions do not depend on the cooperation of other parties. Additionally, full nodes in the Zcash network only need to store a small persistent state.
