Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Outpost Capital?
Co-founders and General Partners Ryan Wang and Sha Zhou lead investment decisions. Wang came from investment banking at Citigroup and Societe Generale, while Zhou was a software engineer and manager at HP, NetScaler, and Juniper before becoming a venture capitalist. Vice President Cherie Liu, a Columbia graduate with prior investment banking experience in New York, supports deal execution with a focus on fintech, blockchain, AI, and cleantech.
Which sectors does Outpost Capital explicitly avoid?
Outpost does not publish a formal list of excluded sectors. Its stated focus areas — XR/spatial computing, blockchain and decentralized systems, artificial intelligence, and robotics — suggest the firm avoids later-stage, non-technical, or non-frontier-adjacent opportunities. The firm's 'founder-problem fit' emphasis further filters out teams that lack deep domain expertise in the core categories it targets.
What is Outpost Capital's known track record on exits?
No exit events are publicly disclosed on the firm's website or in its portfolio company descriptions. The portfolio skews toward technical ventures still in the development and scaling phases (MOAC, IoTeX, Natilus, Supermedium). Given the firm's 2015 founding and focus on frontier technologies with extended R&D cycles, a full exit history is not yet publicly observable.
