Inflection Point Ventures

Investment decisions are driven by the founding team — Vinay Bansal (CEO), Mitesh Shah and Ankur Mittal — supported by an investment committee. The wider network of approximately 9,000 CXO members contributes to sector-specific due diligence but does not hold voting rights on final investment committee decisions. This structure keeps decision velocity high while preserving the benefit of practitioner input on individual deals.

IPV sources deals through a multi-channel funnel that leverages its 9,000-member CXO network, direct applications through its website, relationships with accelerators and incubators, and referrals from portfolio founders. The firm runs a structured screening process where member experts from relevant industries review and score early-stage applications. This architecture creates a proprietary pipeline that is difficult for traditional VC funds to replicate.

IPV's nearly 9,000 CXO members are not passive limited partners. They participate in sector-specific deal screening and due diligence — a core part of IPV's value proposition — and invest their own capital into individual deals. Each member decides which deals to back, unlike a blind-pool fund where capital is committed upfront. This model aligns incentives and creates a distributed intelligence layer for deal assessment.
