Investment thesis
Outrun Ventures is powered by two angel investors who invest their own capital, making high-conviction bets. Drawing on their experience founding, scaling, and selling a financial services company during the Global Financial Crisis, they empathize with founder risk-takers. They invest primarily at pre-seed and seed stages, favoring innovative teams building or disrupting in fintech, insurance, and DeFi — areas aligned with their interests and network. Beyond capital, they aim to be the most impactful investor on the cap table, offering value-add introductions to VCs, angels, decision-makers, and banks.
