Refuse to settle.
on your co-founder
The best co-founder and founding engineer for your company isn't already in your network.
Outcast Ventures expands your access, then invests when the right team forms.
Co-founder selection is too important for chance or proximity.
Catalyst is for founders who take co-founder selection seriously. You work from the same office, get to know each other, and decide if you want to founded a company together.
If you do, we write your first check.
The convenient co-founder penalty is real
The last 400 U.S. tech exits over 20 years tell a story. The unconventional finding: co-founders who knew each other before consistently exit for less.
Outcast Ventures launches inaugural fund and Catalyst to redefine how companies get founded
Outcast Ventures is an early-stage venture firm built on the belief that founding teams matter more than founding ideas. We invest $500K–$1M at pre-seed and seed.
Some teams are already formed. Others form through Catalyst .
Either way, we back founders who look like outcasts before they look right.
