Calling the leaders and teams with concepts in the decentralised space
The accelerator is looking for driven, humble, empathetic and passionate founders who want to build a more equitable data economy. You will likely be a small team with both technical and business expertise. You may have raised a small amount of money before, and are looking for your next step to accelerate your proposition, and get it in front of customers and the wider industry.
You are encouraged to apply if your project fits Outlier Ventures’ vision of the future web: The Convergence Stack. Spanning hardware, software, networking and applications, the stack underpins a private, secure, and accessible digital infrastructure.
Outlier Ventures is particularly interested in opportunities in the following industry vertical segments:
- Fintech & Defi: Teams developing businesses and networks to connect the decentralised finance and the existing financial infrastructure are of particular interest.
- Machine to Machine: concepts addressing automation and the “industrial internet/Industry 4.0”, and in particular how decentralized software can enable new forms of economic activity. For instance: smart cities, manufacturing, energy services, the smart home, and the automated sharing economy.
- Transport & Logistics: Decentralised software can be valuable in the complex and global logistics supply chain offering provenance, tracking and more efficient resource utilisation across the market.
- Identity: Outlier Ventures is interested in supporting founders working on helping users take back control of their identity, reputation and data and how this relates to the existing regulation around KYC/AML as well as improving tax and audit functionality.
- Networking: The accelerator wants to support teams working in the open-source hardware (OSH) and software (OSS) space bringing decentralized software, privacy-guarantees and strong cryptographically to telco networks.
