Our vision for Web3 in 2023
Web 2 to Web3: As a result of advancements in blockchain abstraction tools, Web3 is at a pivotal moment to onboard more users than ever. Outlier is looking to support user-focused companies that drive this change.
- For infrastructure, this means tooling to help Web2 developers build on Web3.
- On the commercial level, we’re looking for companies attracting mainstream users through enhanced UI/UX or by addressing the rapidly-expanding gaming market
Scalability: We are looking to make the the blockchain trilemma of scalability, efficiency and decentralisation obsolete. This means we are looking for
- Companies leveraging modular tooling ecosystems like Cosmos inter-chain security, Celestia, and Eigen Layer
- Companies paving the way for an explosion of Appchains.
We are looking beyond the hype of AI, and focusing on solutions that address long-term concerns. We are looking for companies that
- Are creating rational incentives for centralised AI companies to collaborate and build more openly.
- Tools that make AI governance accessible and more credibly neutral via decentralisation.
Outlier Ventures brings its unparalleled deep knowledge and network to support startups to design, build and launch industry defining Web3 solutions
