Backing Founders Building The Agentic Web
The internet is at an inflexion point and evolving rapidly. Forward-thinking founders can see that we’re moving beyond Web3 and entering the next era where decentralized AI, autonomous agents, and privacy-first systems converge to create a more intent-based Web, which we have outlined in our thesis, the Post Web. We see this as an opportune time with endless possibilities and innovation, but it is also a period of big disruption, redefining the foundation of the startup ecosystem – and its acceleration.
Launching our Post Web Base Camp accelerator program aims to support early stage founders with high potential building for the Agentic Web. The hype around DeAI has grown rapidly, but for Outlier Ventures, we predicted this in 2016 in our ‘convergence thesis’ and made the first DeAI investment in Fetch.ai and since then we have invested in many more including Exabits, who recently announced a $150 million valuation.
To support the best founders we want to partner with industry leaders who share the same mission. We’re excited to welcome LifeX Ventures as a venture partner to the Post Web Base Camp. Founded in 2022, LifeX is powered by a team of PhD scientists and tech entrepreneurs who have collectively built three unicorns, led three IPOs, and raised over $1 billion in venture capital. With deep operating expertise and a proven track record, LifeX provides founders with the knowledge, experience, and resources they need to accelerate their journey.
At Outlier Ventures, we’ve always been at the forefront of emerging technologies, helping Web3 founders scale their startups. LifeX Ventures also shares this same vision, supporting hugely successful startups building science and AI companies, so we’re thrilled to partner and bring our combined expertise as LifeX doubles down on the intersection of AI and Web3.
Why This Partnership with LifeX Matters for Founders
We believe that founders at the intersection of AI and Web3 will define the next internet paradigm. Our agentic based accelerator program will provide founders building across the convergence of AI, autonomy, decentralization, and privacy-first systems to create a reimagined internet—the Post Web. We are looking for founders building across key verticals, including AI agents, new modes of interaction in a Post Web world, identity, reputation, and personhood management in an Agentic Web, Real-World Assets (RWA), DeFAI, and the infrastructure required to orchestrate these systems and beyond.
Whether you’re building AI agents, decentralized compute networks or privacy-first applications, this partnership ensures you have the resources and support to scale.
With LifeX joining us, founders in the Post Web Base Camp will get the following:
- Access to capital – $150k investment + $350k follow on opportunity.
- Expert mentorship – Hands-on support from some of the best minds in AI, Web3, and decentralized tech with our in-house team along with external experts during the 12-week program.
- Tokenomics & business model design – Helping founders navigate token-based ecosystems alongside traditional startup models.
- A powerful network – A direct line to Web3-native investors, leaders in the industry and other Web3 builders.
The Future Belongs to the Founders Who Are Building for the Future
At Outlier Ventures, we’ve helped scale over 355 startups across tech verticals including DePIN, RWA, DeAI, DeFI and we believe The Post Web era will be even more significant. But to get there, we need to support founders who think differently—who see what huge possibilities the intersection of AI and Web3 has to offer.
With LifeX Ventures joining us, we’re doubling down on that mission. Let’s build The Post Web together. Apply today.
