Co-Founder and Managing Partner
Outcast VenturesCheck size: $500K-$1M initial investments, as published by Outcast Ventures.
Amy Lin invests or supports investments through Outcast Ventures's published strategy: Back unusually strong founding teams at pre-seed and seed, prioritizing people over a fixed idea and helping exceptional individuals find co-founders through Catalyst.
High-agency founders with rare talent, strong working chemistry and the ability to discover and execute against a very large problem.
No sector exclusions are public. Teams without strong founder quality or collaboration and companies outside pre-seed and seed appear less aligned.
Center the founding team, earned insight, speed of learning, early user proof and the hard company-building problem where the partners can help directly.
