Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), an angel investment platform, had as many as 14 successful exits in 2023, delivering an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 61% to its investors. Despite the challenging market conditions, IPV's strategic initiatives and collaborative efforts with founders have resulted in outstanding returns for its investor community.

Stellar Returns with Project Light and Other Exits

One of the highlights of IPV's 2023 performance was the full exit from Project Light, withholding the name for confidentiality, which yielded a staggering 217% IRR (approximately 40x Money on Money). Additionally, the partial exit from logistics company Oorjaa generated an impressive 97% IRR. IPV's success extended beyond these exits, with partial exits from 11 other startups delivering IRRs ranging from 20% to 97%. Noteworthy successes include partial exits from Oorjaa, Devnagri, Aerem, and Ishitva, averaging an impressive 80% IRR.

Consistent Growth with 38 Exits in Under 5 Years

With these latest exits, IPV has now achieved a total of 38 successful exits in less than five years.

Vinay Bansal, Founder & CEO of IPV, affirms, "Once again, IPV has emerged as the most active angel investing platform in India despite the ongoing funding winter. With its sharp investment strategy and belief in innovative sustainable startups, IPV will continue to evaluate high-potential startups in 2024."

Supportive Initiatives in a Cautious Investment Climate

Amidst a cautious investment climate, IPV has stood out as a beacon of support for startups. The LetsGrow program, a cornerstone of IPV's post-investment assistance, played a pivotal role in fostering partnerships, providing invaluable resources, and ensuring successful outcomes for both founders and investors.

Despite the challenging landscape for startups globally, IPV's portfolio has remained robust. IPV's focus on investing in great founders at reasonable valuations has resulted in a high success rate, with only 10 out of 200 startups failing to return capital to investors.

Ankur Mittal, Co-Founder, IPV, said, “At IPV, we have always believed in investing in great founders at reasonable valuations. This eventually results in successful exits for our investors. We are a big believer of helping our founders scale up by leveraging our rich network to help companies not only get timely capital infusion but also rich mentoring to grow their businesses.”
