From a hackathon project to a VC deal
summary
Outlier Ventures runs a 3-month virtual accelerator focused on IPFS and FVM builders, condensing nine years of experience and running its fifth cohort after building a ~250-company portfolio. The program pairs teams with mentors on product, token design, legal and fundraising, provides a $100K stipend, and expects a presentable MVP plus early traction; ideal early team is roughly 2-person (CEO+CTO). Investors prioritize team, market, domain expertise and 10x potential; timeline from hackathon to funding varies by product readiness and market timing.
