Team Mission

Our mission is to seed the long-term growth of the decentralized web, by cultivating a wide variety of stakeholders, aligning them with the success of IPFS, Filecoin and libp2p, and treating them like gold.

Our Strategy

Outercore’s Strategy centers around 3 major tenets:

  1. Ecosystem Multipliers: Engage with major partners to showcase new use cases, bridges to other Web3 ecosystems, and bridges to Web2 users

  2. Builders:

     (a) Help new developers enter our ecosystems through hackathons, education and support

 (b) Help those developers and entrepreneurs create projects and businesses through grants and accelerators

 (c) Help those businesses accelerate growth through growth capital and support

  3. Web3 Storage Provider Growth: Help Web3 Storage Providers incubate, grow, prosper and expand geographically
