Investment thesis

Outliers Fund invests in frontier deep-technology companies aiming to turn science fiction into scientific reality. Through its Outliers Scientific Fund, it backs space infrastructure such as satellite networks, orbital manufacturing, and deep-space mining, targeting the intersection of engineering, policy, and revenue. Its Outliers Intelligence Fund focuses on AI, robotics, and quantum, investing where software meets the physical world across chips, algorithms, and intelligent systems. The firm favors founder-led teams with deep scientific expertise, evaluates opportunities with technical rigor, invests with conviction, and maintains long-term relationships with founders.
