Inflection aggregates historical and current public records and consumer people-data across its Archives.com and PeopleSmart properties. Archives.com provides access to birth, death, marriage, divorce and other historical vital records and reports over 2 million members and about 3 million unique visitors per month. PeopleSmart combines contact information, public records and social profiles and features more than 250 million social profiles and 500 million public records, plus contact data for a large percentage of U.S. households. Product features include an email plugin for Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail that surfaces sender profiles and a retrieval service that fetches undigitized court records (average turnaround 38 hours, available in 47 states); consumer memberships range from $3–$8 per month. The company emphasizes privacy and data quality—users can manage or remove listings and datasets are vetted across accuracy, recency, coverage, depth and clarity with additional checks for minors and opted-out individuals. Inflection plans to use the new funding to expand its team, invest in technology, and acquire customers for its web properties.
