See If You're a MatchInvestment Thesis
Outsiders Fund invests in founders with outside perspectives who are disrupting overlooked, antiquated, and long-standing industries. They believe that while technological innovation continues to accelerate, its distribution is remarkably non-uniform, with the most visible sectors attracting disproportionate talent and capital. By identifying neglected sectors with mismatches between technological adoption and broader innovation, they seek to unlock massive value from stale infrastructure left untouched by long-standing incumbents.
What Sets Them Apart
- Focus on overlooked, antiquated industries rather than trendy sectors
- Investment thesis centered on technological adoption mismatches in stale infrastructure
- Team composed of 'owners, operators, builders, and outsiders' with nontraditional backgrounds
- Emphasis on founder character: 'grit, curiosity, and unwavering conviction'
- Portfolio spans unusual categories (mail security, autonomous laundry, toilet seats, airport tractors, cattle supply chain, radiation shielding) demonstrating genuine conviction in overlooked spaces
