There are many definitions of ‘outliers’, but ours are: those who are misfits of the current system, those who are on the road less travelled, and those who are at the extreme outer edge of what is statistically plausible…

#OUTLIERS Kickoff Bootcamp

#OUTLIERS was started as a special interest group of deep tech on Slack by several students from MIT and Harvard in 2016. They discussed research papers and venture investments in a decentralized fashion. With these research foundations, some decided to drop out from schools and launch this venture accelerator with the long-term vision of turning as many science fiction into scientific facts as possible.
