Outlier Ventures is a venture platform that supports the development and growth of emerging technologies. To do this we advise and invest in talented teams, and support businesses which create value for an open data economy. Established in 2013, we were Europe’s first venture firm dedicated to blockchain technology. As early investors in the space, we foresaw the coming together of key technologies like AI and IoT with blockchains – which we termed ‘Convergence’ in 2016. We have developed an industry-leading investment thesis, based on the convergence of decentralized technologies with other advancing technologies including artificial intelligence, robotics, and the Internet of Things. The convergence of these technologies will support a new open and decentralized data infrastructure. This creates next generation data technology which will drive the evolution of the next internet paradigm “Web 3.0” We work with seed and growth stage startups as well as larger businesses who are committed to the vision of an open and decentralized data infrastructure. Our team is 30 people strong, with a global presence including London, Toronto, Chicago and Amsterdam. With specialists in token economics, research, legal, marketing, and technology, we bring a powerhouse of support to founders and partners.
