Building the Future of Bitcoin Innovation: Meet the Innovators From Our Second Bitcoin Base Camp Cohort

Contents

We’re proud to introduce five pioneering startups leveraging Bitcoin to push the boundaries of innovation. This cohort explores asset issuance, infrastructure, decentralized finance, and streamlined wallet solutions—all shaping the next phase of Bitcoin’s evolution.

After the successful completion of our first Bitcoin Base Camp in early 2024, we’re excited to announce the second cohort of our Bitcoin Base Camp Accelerator. This program is Outlier Ventures’ dedicated accelerator for Web3 startups advancing the Bitcoin ecosystem. We help visionary teams scale their projects to launch.

Our Bitcoin team works closely with each founder on technical validation, product design, fundraising strategy, legal guidance and market positioning. Through weekly workshops, in-depth check-ins, mentorship from industry experts, and connections with top investors, we ensure these teams are equipped for sustainable growth.
