• ByStartupStory     |    April 18, 2023

Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), an investment network, has announced a partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology Madras Alumni Association (IITMAA) to educate its members about startup investing and the startup ecosystem. As part of the partnership, IPV intends to organise curated masterclasses, knowledge sessions, meetups with prominent investors, and other events to enable IIT alumni to invest in startups established by IIT alumni and other individuals on the IPV platform.

“At IPV, we believe that startup investment has the potential to emerge as a long-term wealth creation asset class. While we have one of the largest investor networks of seasoned professionals, through alumni partnerships like IITMAA, we are keen to bring the benefits, pros and cons of startup investing to a younger audience and we hope to introduce them to our vast network and domain expertise built over the years,” said Ankur Mittal, Co-founder of Inflection Point Ventures.

The partnership between IPV and IITMAA aims to facilitate professional networking between alumni, professors, and current students to foster mutual benefits in academic, professional, and business fields. It includes creating an “Employment Network” to assist new graduates, alumni seeking career advancements or changes, and those who have been displaced from the workforce.

“IITMAA has collaborated with IPV to engage its alums who would be looking forward to learning more about startup investing and build a robust Start-Up ecosystem for IITM Alumni Startups. The collaboration will enable IPV to share their knowledge and expertise with us, to improve startup & investor experiences and ensure future growth,” said Nishani Manohar, Executive Director of IITMAA.

The partnership involves IPV providing assistance to IITMAA alumni in connecting and engaging with other alumni who are already members of IPV’s investor community. In return, IITMAA will introduce IPV to its global chapters and organize in-person events, such as fish market events where alumni can showcase their startups/businesses to the IIT community. IPV will be invited as a partner for knowledge sharing, investment, and speaking engagements to raise awareness about startup and angel investing at these events.
