Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), an angel network in India, has announced 14 exits from 2024, delivering an IRR of ~36%. With 47 successful exits from a portfolio of 200+ startups, IPV has delivered exit opportunities at a rate well above industry norms.
IPV has successfully facilitated multiple high-return exits including Aksum (52% IRR, 1.55x MoM), Conscious Chemist (54% IRR, 1.45x MoM), and Qubehealth (53% IRR, 4.06x MoM).
IPV portfolio companies secured 25 follow-on rounds led by renowned global and domestic investors like Goodwater Capital invested in Stage, alongside Blume Ventures, which also backed Fashor. Kazam attracted funding from Vertex Ventures, Avaana, and Chakra, while Sorin and Piper Serica supported Freed. Adding to this momentum, Tim Draper’s investment in BonV Aero and DS Group’s investment in Samosa Party.
Some of these strategic investments were structured as blended primary and secondary transactions, providing optional exits to IPV investors, delivering 30-40% IRRs with a 3-4x return.
IPV-backed companies have also attracted acquisitions and strategic collaborations, such as Prescinto AI, an AI-powered platform optimizing renewable energy assets, which was acquired by IBM, integrating its technology into IBM’s ‘’olMaximo Application Suite to enhance the energy sector’s efficiency and sustainability. This exit delivered a 28% IRR with a 2.17x return.
Similarly, Parablu, a data protection company, was acquired by CrashPlan, a global leader in cyber-ready data resilience. The acquisition not only integrated Parablu’s solutions but also onboarded its team, ensuring a smooth transition and continued business growth. This exit generated an IRR of ~30% with a 2.2x MoM in 36 months.
Two IPV-backed startups, Speed Kitchen and Metashot also featured on Shark Tank India Season 4.
