Inflect, Inc.

Inflect, Inc. is an innovative company specializing in IT infrastructure procurement, providing a platform for data center solutions, bare metal servers, and network connectivity to B2B clients. Founded in 2016 by Maeve Rutten and Mike Nguyen, Inflect, Inc. is headquartered in San Francisco, US.

The company focuses on creating a marketplace for IT infrastructure services, without any notable pivots or changes in strategy. Inflect raised USD 3. 00 mn in a Seed funding round on December 6, 2017, which constituted its total funding amount, targeting individual investors. Inflect specializes in providing a comprehensive platform for the procurement of IT infrastructure services, focusing on data center solutions, bare metal servers, and network connectivity.

The core offerings include a Data Center Marketplace, where clients can search for and compare data center options globally, and a Bare Metal Marketplace that allows users to discover various server configurations tailored to their specific needs. Additionally, the Routefinder tool offers insights into network connectivity options and latency analysis, thus aiding businesses in making informed decisions about their infrastructure needs. Inflect's services cater primarily to B2B clients in sectors such as technology, finance, and telecommunications, looking for efficient and cost-effective IT solutions. The company operates across multiple geographical markets, with a presence in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia, ensuring a broad client base that requires reliable and scalable IT infrastructure.

Inflect's revenue model is built around facilitating seamless transactions between clients and various IT service providers, primarily through a commission structure charged to the providers rather than the clients. The platform offers a free-to-use experience for customers, allowing them to receive instant pricing for services like Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) without incurring additional costs. By utilizing its platform, clients can quickly compare multiple offerings, allowing for efficient decision-making and procurement processes. The company capitalizes on its partnerships with providers, negotiating competitive rates which are passed on to the customers.

This structure enhances the appeal of Inflect's services, as businesses benefit from a streamlined purchasing experience while accessing potentially lower prices for essential IT infrastructure. Inflect plans to utilize its recent Seed funding of USD 3. 00 mn to enhance its platform and expand into new geographic markets. Specific areas of focus include increasing its footprint in Europe and entering new regions in Asia by the end of 2023.

The company is also developing upcoming products aimed at improving its marketplace capabilities, though the specific release dates have yet to be announced.
