Inflexion Fund, L.P., managed by Inflexion Partners, is a seed and early-stage venture capital fund organized with an emphasis on company building and harnessing regional, national, and international resources of the fund's managers and strategic partners. Inflexion is the first and only Florida fund leveraging a network venture capital model involving some of the largest institutional investors in the country.

Sigma Partners was founded in 1984 on the principle that people are the essential element of success. That is why Sigma focuses on identifying exceptional entrepreneurs with creative ideas and supporting them in building great companies.

Unlike some firms that hire venture capitalists based upon their business school degrees and finance backgrounds, Sigma Partners believes it's much more important to have partners with experience in the trenches starting and running entrepreneurial companies. This first-hand experience allows Sigma Partners to give early-stage companies both tactical and strategic guidance and access to a powerful business network. These Partners work on behalf of their portfolio companies. Sigma Partners knows business doesn't always go as planned, but because they've invested in the best and brightest entrepreneurs, together they adapt and create success.

Village Ventures is an early stage venture capital firm investing in exceptional entrepreneurs building technology and life science companies in emerging domestic geographies. Village Ventures identifies these investment opportunities in partnership with its proprietary nationwide network of early stage venture capital funds that are focused on these emerging domestic geographic markets. Venture capital is a local business, and Village Ventures has built its enterprise around the deeply integrated local VC who knows regional entrepreneurs and is familiar with local opportunities. The Village Ventures structure allows local VCs to utilize a national framework of world-class services and investment support. Because capital alone does not ensure success, Village Ventures also offers back-office support for the fund network and growth resources for entrepreneurs. The combination of local capital and Point Judith's hands-on investment practices - backed by Village Ventures' centralized services and national network - has created an innovative investment strategy, one that is bearing substantive results in the areas of fund raising and deal flow.
