The Outlier Ventures Podcast

In this first episode we introduce The Post Web Audio-Documentary, a series exploring our exciting new thesis, based on hundreds of conversations with Web3's leading founders, exploring the convergence of Crypto x AI. In this episode, Jamie Burke, Chairman and Founder of Outlier Ventures, discusses what's next after a decade of Web3.  We introduce the idea that it is so transformational that it isn't Web4 or Web5, but in fact The Post Web. Where Web1 gave us [Read], Web2 [Write], Web3 [Own], The Post Web means we can now [Delegate] ever more of our lives to agents that will live, work and coordinate on blockchains.   This will dramatically reduce our experience of the Web from the death of Search, to interruptive advertising and even websites and  applications, flipping us from The Attention Economy to The Intention Economy; a highly contextual, deterministic yet adaptive, verifiable machine optimized internet.
