Price has not published a thesis, preferred stage or check size that we could find. His one confirmed AI angel investment is a pre-seed round in AI security, which matches his professional background in security and compliance. Founders should not treat that single deal as a stated focus. Price has not made public the size of his Outerlimit investment.
