Wikipedia:Outlier Ventures

Outlier Ventures is a London-based investment company supporting the development and growth of emerging technologies. Being among the initial investors in the area, Outlier Ventures was able to predict the integration of technologies like AI and IoT with blockchains which they termed 'Convergence' in 2016. Outlier Ventures works with seed and growth-stage startups as well as larger businesses focused on open and decentralized data infrastructure.

History
The company was founded in 2013 by Jamie Burke and Aron van Ammers in London. The core purpose of the company was to invest in blockchain technology where Outlier Ventures also brought in additional expertise and framework for the projects. Outlier Ventures runs a Base Camp accelerator program where they are recruiting, financing, and providing a launchpad for early-stage projects from around the world. The companies receive seed money, advice, and connections in exchange for a percentage of the equity of the company. The program lasts three months and provides product support, hub services, legal and back-office support as well as introduction to the ecosystem of Web 3 startups.

The infrastructure Outlier Ventures invests in, called 'Convergence Stack', includes a set of technologies that consider privacy as their primary objective while including peer-to-peer technologies mainly in an attempt to "unbundle" various types of platforms available on the internet.

Outlier Ventures has received citations for its technological concepts in various mainstream media channels including Yahoo! Finance, Business Insider among others.
