Investment Thesis

The firm targets long‑horizon, infrastructure-scale deep tech where physical engineering, policy, and software converge — backing companies that turn “science fiction into scientific fact.” They prioritize technical rigor, sector mapping, and founder‑led teams with deep scientific expertise, anticipating market and government direction to invest early in areas like commercial space, in‑space manufacturing/mining, and the hardware systems that enable AI and autonomy.

They combine conviction investing with hands‑on, long‑term support: mapping the full landscape (e.g., their Space Atlas), identifying category leaders early, and staying close to founders after the wire clears.

Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Outliers Fund is most relevant for founders raising venture-backed rounds in Space Tech, AI/ML, Robotics, and Quantum.

Focus statement

Focus on infrastructure and foundational deep tech: commercial space (launch, satellites, orbital manufacturing, mining, defense) and intelligence/hardware (chips, algorithms, robotics, quantum) — investing where "engineering meets policy" and where "the line between software and the physical world is disappearing."

Value Add

Operates two thematic funds: Outliers Scientific Fund (space, orbital manufacturing, mining, satellites, defense) and Outliers Intelligence Fund (AI, robotics, quantum, chips & systems).
Explicitly maps opportunity spaces with proprietary frameworks ("Our Space Atlas tracks every investable category — launch, satellites, manufacturing, mining, defense. We map the full landscape.").
Emphasis on anticipating government direction and policy-driven markets (e.g., "We tracked NASA’s Commercial LEO Destinations award and identified Vast as a strong candidate early — anticipating government direction before the market catches on.").
Targets founder‑led teams with deep scientific expertise and cross‑domain technical rigor (e.g., Paradromics identified via "our focus on founder‑led teams with deep scientific expertise").
Combines domain expertise across venture, scientific research, government policy, and entrepreneurship to evaluate technical risk and commercialization potential.
Focus on infrastructure and supply‑chain control (fabs, rare earths, packaging, in‑space resource supply chain) as decisive levers for the next decade.
