Outliers

TURNING SCIENCE FICTION INTO SCIENTIFIC FACT

Vision

Tesla saw what nobody else could. Edison built what nobody else would. Every great company carries both.

We find them before the world catches on. A research-driven venture fund built for the frontier. From the edge of space to the depths of intelligence. Explore with us.

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. AstroForge. Paradromics.
