Investment Days
Participate in friendly investor days to help prep teams for investment panels and providing feedback on pitches, market and investment potential
Office hours & connections
The Base Camp team may allocate you to help with specific needs of a team – guidance, connections, and more. Generally very low touch and highly curated to you.
Continued support
Regular meetings with teams to provide dedicated support & advice and keep up to date on progress. Be the sounding board for founders and steer them through their start up journey.
I’m excited to be joining forces with business sharks, great leaders behind many successful web3 ventures to advise startups in Outlier Ventures’ new programme. Now it is time for us to give back and pave the path for the next wave of web3 founders and ideas. Mentoring in this space is so fulfilling as you get to design/build/launch industry defining web3 solutions together with great minds, some real ‘outliers’.
