About Us

Inflection Club is a private co-investment community for accredited investors, operators, and family offices who want direct access to pre-IPO deals in the companies shaping the future. Built under Catalyst Capital Holdings, we provide curated access from early to late-stage opportunities that traditionally only flow to endowments, pension funds, and institutional allocators - names like Anthropic, Polymarket, Kraken, and Lovable. Our thesis is simple: the biggest returns of the next decade will come from companies built on the cost curves of artificial intelligence, robotics, longevity, and next-generation infrastructure. We help our members invest in those companies 12 to 18 months before they go public, deal-by-deal, with full discretion. We are not a fund. We are a club. No blind pools, no lock-ups, no marketing dressed up as deal flow. Every member chooses what they back, and we handle everything else - sourcing, diligence, SPV formation, legal, reporting, and the live community that makes the whole thing run.

Responsibilities

• Deal Screening & Pipeline Management
• Run the top of the funnel: review inbound deals, conduct first-screen calls, and triage opportunities against our thesis in AI, robotics, longevity, infrastructure, and digital assets
• Maintain the deal tracker - stage, status, IC decisions, follow-ups - as the single source of truth for the investment team
• Support the Director of Investments in hitting the pipeline target: minimum 3 qualified deals presented to IC per quarter, scaling to 5 in Q3-Q4
• Build proprietary deal flow over time: VC syndicates, angel networks, founder relationships, family-office co-investors, and direct-to-founder outreach
• Due Diligence & Investment Memos
• Lead diligence on specific deals end-to-end using institutional VC frameworks: TAM/SAM, team quality, traction metrics, tokenomics (where applicable), cap table, round terms, and competitive landscape
• Build the financial models. Pressure-test the founder's assumptions. Reference-check operators, investors, and customers
• Produce institutional-quality investment memos for every deal presented to IC - the kind a top-tier fund would put in front of its partners
• Investment Committee Process
• Co-present deals to the IC alongside the Director of Investments. Defend the thesis. Take the hard questions. Document the decision
• Track post-IC actions: open diligence items, term-sheet redlines, member-facing materials
• Maintain the deal tracker with full stage, status, and IC decision history
• SPV Execution & Legal Coordination
• Coordinate with outside counsel on SPV formation, subscription documents, Reg D 506(c) compliance, and accredited investor verification
• Support the deal product: term sheets, carry waterfalls, distribution mechanics
• Project-manage the close: tracking subscriptions, liaising with members through the Director of Community, and ensuring the deal closes cleanly
• Roundtable & Member-Facing Content
• Support the Director of Investments in Roundtable preparation: discussion materials, deal showcases, and follow-up briefings
• Produce the deal summaries, investment theses, and portfolio updates that members interact with - written with the rigor of an investor and the clarity of an operator
• Sourcing (Ramping Through Year 1)
• Begin sourcing independently within the first six months. Build a personal pipeline of founders, syndicate leads, and co-investors
• Represent Inflection Club selectively at conferences, demo days, and investor events as you grow into the role
• Mentoring (As the Team Grows)
• Mentor and review the work of analyst-level hires once the team scales. Set the bar for memo quality, model rigor, and process discipline

Requirements

• Y3 to 5 years of full-time experience in venture capital, growth equity, private equity, investment banking (TMT, healthcare, or fintech), or a strategic-finance role at a high-growth startup
• You have led diligence on at least one deal that closed - not just supported it. You can walk a partner through the model you built
• You write well. Your investment memos are the kind people forward, not skim
• You can build a financial model from a blank tab - cohort analyses, LTV/CAC, scenario builds, cap-table waterfalls, dilution math - without a template
• You read primary sources. You know the difference between a sourced fact and a TechCrunch headline
• You operate in a high-trust, low-bureaucracy environment. You don't need to be told to follow up
• You can hold your own in a room of accredited investors and operators without performing or shrinking
• You are comfortable working at an uncomfortable pace without sacrificing quality

Bonus Points

• Direct experience underwriting AI infrastructure, robotics, longevity/biotech, or digital-asset deals
• Fluency in tokenomics, on-chain metrics, and crypto cap-table structures
• CFA, MBA, or equivalent credential. Not required, but noticed
• Network across Tier-1 VC funds, angel syndicates, or family offices
• Prior exposure to SPV mechanics, Reg D 506(c) compliance, or QSBS / Section 1202
• Operating background - you've built or scaled something yourself before going into investing

Benefits

• Build Your Legacy: This is a chance to build a category-defining company from the ground up, with your vision at the center
• Unfair Advantage: You are not starting from zero. You have a built-in distribution channel of thousands of engaged, high-trust members from Day 1
• Significant Upside: You will receive a competitive base salary, a performance bonus tied to growth, and an equity/carry package that gives you a direct stake in the club's success
