TURNING SCIENCE FICTION INTO SCIENTIFIC FACT
Funds
Outliers Scientific Fund
Satellite networks. Orbital manufacturing. Deep‑space mining. These and more are becoming the infrastructure of tomorrow. We invest where engineering meets policy, and where rockets meet revenue.
Outliers Intelligence Fund
AI. Robotics. Quantum. The line between software and the physical world is disappearing. We invest at the intersection of chips, algorithms, and the systems that bring intelligence to everything.
Already backed. Already building.
Vast Space.
Paradromics.
AstroForge.
Vast Space
Commercial Space Station
Visit2001: A Space Odyssey showed us the future — a spinning station in orbit, humans living and working in space. Vast is making it real.
Vast is building the world’s first commercial space station. Haven‑1 will serve private astronauts, government missions, and in‑space research — developed by a team with deep SpaceX pedigree.
We tracked NASA’s Commercial LEO Destinations award and identified Vast as a strong candidate early — anticipating government direction before the market catches on.
Paradromics
Brain-Computer Interface
VisitScience fiction imagined a world where the mind speaks directly to a machine. No voice. No movement. Just thought. Paradromics is solving it.
Paradromics built Connexus — a brain‑computer interface that records neural activity at the single‑neuron level. Over 400 micro electrodes per module, scalable to 1,600+ channels, each implant smaller than a dime.
Identified through our focus on founder‑led teams with deep scientific expertise, building at the intersection of AI and healthcare.
AstroForge
Asteroid Mining
VisitThe most valuable metals on Earth are a thousand times more concentrated in space. AstroForge is going to get them.
AstroForge is extracting platinum group metals from near‑Earth asteroids. The global PGM market is $24B, yet 96% comes from just three countries. A single asteroid contains 5,000x the concentration of anything mined on Earth.
We mapped the in‑space resource supply chain early and identified AstroForge as the team best positioned to commercialize asteroid mining.
