About Inflection

Andressen Horowitz (a16z) once stated that product-led growth (PLG) is one of the trends they’re most excited about because it’s such an efficient distribution channel that aligns incentives between a company and its customers. From MURAL to Figma to Stripe, all the largest, fastest growing B2B companies all have a product-led growth (PLG) model. However, B2B marketing technology wasn't built with PLG in mind.

We're changing that as the first-ever marketing platform built for product-led growth (PLG). Our team left their jobs at some of the best brands in the world like Adobe to build Inflection because we knew that product-led is the future. We’re building a category-defining product, and we need the best minds to build the future with us.

We are an early, fast-growing startup with an experienced team and have raised over $6M. In addition to wanting to build the future of product-led growth, here are some of the reasons some of the best, most passionate people have chosen to join us on this journey:

Build the Future From Scratch - As a seed-stage startup, you’ll get the opportunity to create a category-defining product and company from scratch. You’ll get to define how we should do things, set the culture, and be part of decisions outside the typical problems you’d be exposed to at bigger companies.
Growth, Growth, and Growth - You’ll get exposed to new technologies, methods, and problems throughout your career at Inflection, helping you build the skills to grow much faster in your career.
Equity for Everyone - We want everyone to share in our eventual success. We grant every employee equity in the company. Our goal is to become a public company and mint a new generation of philanthropists and entrepreneurs.
Workstation Budget - Besides paying for your work computer, each employee gets a one-time budget for extra work-related technology. You get to choose your workstation setup.
Your Well-Being - We offer fully paid medical insurance for you and your dependents.
Generous Vacation Policy and Parent-Friendly Environment - We have flexible, custom-tailored vacation policies to accommodate everyone’s preferences, and have been intentional about building a parent-friendly environment.
