Most investors meet a company on the day it lists. Maxwell Nee meets it years earlier, when
it is still a pitch, a team, and a set of numbers that have not been tested by anyone.
As Chairman of the Inflection Club, he runs the filter. Every private opportunity that reaches a member has cleared a twelve-point selection criteria he built and owns, and the overwhelming majority never get that far. Reading deals is the easy part. Rejecting them is the job.
The club exists because five industries are bending at once: artificial intelligence, energy and infrastructure, robotics, longevity, and blockchain. The companies building them are largely private, and most of the value they create gets created before a retail investor can buy a single share. Maxwell's work is deciding which of those companies are worth the capital and which are a good story with bad economics underneath.
