December 4th, 2025 — Outlier, the fast-growing sports betting technology company, today announced the close of a $10 million Series A funding round including secondary purchases. This comes shortly after the announced $5M User Acquisition credit facility extended by Discerning Capital & PVX Partners’ House Advantage Fund. The $15M in total investment marks a significant milestone, positioning the company to expand its footprint across global wagering markets and accelerate its product roadmap.

​

The Series A will accelerate Outlier’s next phase of growth as it brings new products to market, enhances its user experience, and deepens its presence in the rapidly expanding sports betting sector. Outlier has earned national attention as the market-leading sports betting research tool, with tens of thousands of paying subscribers and more than 14,000 five-star reviews on the App Store. The platform gives bettors intuitive access to real-time data, historical performance trends, and odds from major sportsbooks, empowering users to make more informed decisions in a fast-moving industry.

 

The global sports betting sector continues to expand rapidly, with operators and consumers increasingly prioritizing transparency and data-driven decision-making tools. Outlier addresses this shift by giving users intuitive access to powerful analytics and real-time intelligence that were once limited to professional bettors and trading desks.

 

“Our focus has always been delivering tools that let customers make more sophisticated, data-backed decisions in their betting journeys,” said Luis Lafer-Sousa, CTO and Co-Founder of Outlier. “With this raise, we’re advancing the underlying models, real-time analytics, and predictive systems that power our platform, while expanding the breadth of our product line to meet new demands in a rapidly evolving space. We’ve been customer-focused from day one, and we’re doubling down on building technology that meaningfully improves the way our users understand and act on sports and market data.”

 

“We are excited to partner with Outlier as they continue redefining how bettors use data,” said Davis Catlin, Managing Partner at Discerning Capital, who will join Outlier’s board of directors. “Outlier has built one of the most compelling products in sports betting, and we believe their focus on transparency, experience, and user value will set the standard for the next decade. Any bettor who evaluates Outlier alongside their existing tools will understand the difference immediately.”

 

Outlier has already assembled a talented team that underpins its next stage of global expansion. This raise will allow the company to deepen its capabilities across product, engineering, marketing, and customer experience as it accelerates growth in the U.S., U.K., and Australia and evaluates further international markets. The new capital will also support continued investment in Outlier’s real-time analytics engine, ongoing enhancements to the user experience, and the expansion of strategic partnerships with operators and adjacent technology providers.
