Calling founders who are focused on building the agent optimized internet
We’re at a pivotal moment in internet history. AI’s diffusion across the internet is finally happening, as we have anticipated since 2016. As it converges with existing Web3 infrastructure, Web3’s original promise will finally become reality in the form of what we call The Post Web.
We believe that Web3 is, and always has been, a back-end revolution never intended for direct human interaction. It is a sleeping giant of functionality tested by humans and waiting to be unlocked by machines. This is more than the next phase of Web3. It’s a paradigm shift where we move beyond “Read, Write, Own” into an era of Delegation.
Today, Outlier Ventures is proud to announce the launch of The Post Web Base Camp Accelerator Program, a remote 12-week accelerator designed to help the boldest of founders worldwide get at the front lines of shaping the future internet.
The Post Web Thesis: A Reimagining of the Internet
The Post Web is about reimagining the entire fabric of the internet itself—where AI, autonomy, decentralization, and privacy-first systems converge to create a new way of living and interacting.
This shift is profound. The Post Web moves from the Attention Economy, where users are steered into suboptimal activities that often don’t align with their intrinsic wants, to the Intention Economy, where users’ actual needs and goals are prioritised through intent-based AI agents that act on behalf of users, aligning economic activity directly with user intentions.
- Autonomous AI agents will handle tasks and interactions, making decisions based on our intent.
- Privacy-first systems will give users unparalleled control over their data and identities.
- Hyper-contextual infrastructure will dissolve the boundaries between websites, apps, and agents, creating seamless user experiences tailored to individual needs.
The shift from Web3 might feel like abandoning a failed experiment, but nothing could be further from the truth. Everything built over the past decade forms the bedrock that allows us to move toward The Post Web.
The Post Web is not a disruption to the existing Web3 paradigm; instead, it’s an extension, a gradual shift incorporating Web3’s foundations while transitioning into an AI-enabled internet. The Convergence is a transitory phase, bridging the path to The Post Web.
100x Founder: Founders must relentlessly leverage AI to create operation efficiency and automation when building. We have recently entered a period where it has never been as capital-efficient as before to become a founder. The next unicorns are built by a few people with a great idea, best-in-class execution and an army of AI tools.
We believe that Outlier Ventures is best positioned to help founders build an agent optimized internet, given our unique position, legacy of thought, and applied learning in convergence.
The question is: Will you help shape The Post Web with us or wait to adapt to it?
