The firm runs Base Camp, an accelerator launched in 2019 that provides launchpad support and incubation space for pre-seed projects. Through its investments and accelerator activities, Outlier Ventures has supported more than 220 portfolio companies and helped raise over $350 million in seed funding. It maintains a blockchain-agnostic approach and collaborates with leading ecosystems, including Aptos, Filecoin/IPFS, Polygon, and Polkadot, to host dedicated accelerator tracks. The firm aims to accelerate the development of Web3 technologies and the Open Metaverse by backing global projects and fostering interoperable infrastructures.
