Outlier is a social impact accelerator with the goal of creating companies that solve problems for the underserved. Our 2-part thesis is:
- There’s an opportunity to create large profitable companies by solving important problems for people in developing countries.
- There are smart people working at companies like McKinsey and Google that don’t feel fulfilled in their jobs and want to make a meaningful impact but don’t know where to start.
We’ve designed this accelerator to help people find a problem they’re passionate about and create a scalable company to solve it. If accepted, we'll give fellows $15,000 to immerse themselves in developing countries over 3 months. The accelerator will kick off with a 1-week in-person retreat and bring together all the fellows into one place to build relationships and plan their journeys. When they return from their journeys, during the following 3 months they'll receive guidance and support to turn a problem that they're passionate about into a scalable business. The program will conclude with a demo day where they can raise funding for their companies from impact-focused investors.
Over the period of 6 months, we hope Outlier Fellows will :
- Discover a problem they’re deeply passionate about solving.
- Develop a scalable solution to the problem with strong economic incentives.
- Build lifelong friendships with other Fellows.
- Gain experiences that will change their life.
If Outlier is successful, we will help impact billions while creating profitable companies.
