The one confirmed deal is a pre-seed investment in an AI security company. One deal is not enough to state a stage or sector preference, so treat this as a single data point. Sam Morgan has not published a check size, an investment thesis or a list of what he looks for, and no public source we found reports the amount he put into Outerlimit. Background, geography and other portfolio companies are also not confirmed here, because several people share this name and the sources reviewed did not tie the Outerlimit investor to a specific profile.
