Today, Tuesday 27th May 2025, we announce BACKED’s investment into Infinity Constellation who have stepped out of stealth, following their latest $12 million fundraising round led by Freestyle, alongside ourselves, Deepwater, BY Venture Partners and others, taking total fundraising to $17 million.
Infinity are an AI incubator and holding company, co-founded by Francis Pedraza – founder and CEO of one of our fastest growing portfolio companies, Invisible Technologies, alongside Brennan Pothetes, to spin out AI-native services business from recruiting, design, and operations, by pairing expert commercial founders with AI engineers.
Brennan joined us at our BACKED Founder & CEO Retreat in Portugal this April. Sitting down with goats bleating in the background, we spoke about Infinity (scroll down for the video.)
Brennan shared his belief that we’re currently in a “golden age” with AI and that Infinity is like “a Rosetta Stone around how to apply tech with services in a way that hasn’t been done before.” he believes that AI is one of the biggest productivity opportunities for humanity: giving the ability to augment services, and supercharge individuals.
We invested in Infinity from Backed 3, our third frontier-tech focussed seed fundare you and the business is scaling rapidly, growing from $0 to $7 million ARR in 12 months.
BACKED Co-Founder Alex Brunicki, who joins the Board of Infinity says:
“Francis is one of the best zero-to-one founders and first-principle thinkers I have worked with. Infinity is non-obvious, scaling quickly and a brave response to the Innovator’s Dilemma, a luxury problem most founders don’t get an opportunity to answer. In Brennan, Infinity have an irrepressible, original and commercially-minded CEO who we are delighted to be working with.
“Infinity are building unique leverage, technology and know-how at the platform level to repeatedly create independent, lean, high-quality revenue AI-native services businesses and their capacity to do so should only improve over time. We don’t often find companies with the innate characteristics to scale faster than Invisible, but Infinity may well be one.”
Infinity aim to supercharge ideas from day zero by selecting repeat founders, pairing them with AI engineers and building service businesses where there is huge opportunity for disruption. You can dive into Infinity’s formula for success here.
