And,... it’s working! We have world-class stats: our largest deal is over 3 crore, we have a 5 star rating on G2, over 100% NRR, and constantly break sales and customer records. We’ve raised $14M in total since 2021 with $7.6M of fresh funding in 2024, giving us many years of runway.

However, we’re still in startup mode with approximately 30 employees and looking for the next SDE3 to help propel Inflection forward. Do you want to join a fast growing startup that is aiming to build a very large company?
