Working closely with each team, our Token Launch team provides strategic guidance on token design, go-to-market planning, and sustainable liquidity management. Teams gain access to weekly workshops, deep-dive check-ins, and networking with top investors and market makers, ensuring that founders are well-prepared for all stages of launch.
Over the next twelve weeks, the cohort will receive support from Outlier Ventures’ teams across marketing advisory, token design, engineering, investment, fundraising, and more. Additionally, each team will gain insights from top-tier partners and advisors to help accelerate their growth and success.
The selected teams represent some of the most innovative early-stage projects in the Web3 space, spanning industries like travel, DeFi, data, and gaming. Together, they are building products and protocols that will transform user experiences, drive efficiency, and bring new capabilities to decentralized ecosystems.
This program offers an invaluable opportunity for these founders to drive forward their visions while benefiting from the extensive resources and expertise of Outlier Ventures, along with guidance from industry-leading mentors and partners. We look forward to witnessing the incredible progress and impact these teams are set to make.
