About Inversion
Inversion was founded in 2024 by Santiago Roel Santos, former partner of ParaFi Capital, headquartered in New York, aiming to create an "on-chain Berkshire" by acquiring traditional businesses and migrating their operations to blockchain.
In February 2025, the company announced plans to build Inversion Chain, a sovereign Layer 1 blockchain based on Avalanche technology, serving as unified operational infrastructure for portfolio companies to achieve standardization and interoperability.
In September 2025, Inversion completed a $26.5 million seed round led by Dragonfly Capital, with participation from HashKey Capital, VanEck, ParaFi Capital, and others. The funds will be used for operational infrastructure, while acquisition capital will be raised through a separate fund.
The company focuses on inefficient industries such as telecommunications and financial services, acquiring businesses with existing user bases, introducing blockchain to optimize cost structures, and deploying fintech services like stablecoins for ecosystem monetization.
