Investment thesis
Outlier Ventures' Fund II thesis, 'AI, Atoms & Association' (the 'Triple A thesis'), argues that global fragmentation is raising the premium on sovereignty across financial, cognitive, energy, biological, manufacturing, associative and orbital domains. The firm frames these combined frontiers as a roughly $275T market opportunity by 2036 and invests in the technologies that open up these areas over the coming decade.
