Outverse provides an extensible community platform tailored for modern software companies. The London enterprise builds full-stack environments combining forums, knowledge bases, and product documentation.

Outverse has secured £4.6m in a seed funding round led by Wing VC. The capital was backed by Notion Capital alongside existing investors Seedcamp, Connect Ventures, and Tiny VC.

The fresh funding will be directed towards scaling the platform's product offerings, with a particular focus on deploying enhanced artificial intelligence capabilities. The community software startup is currently opening up its beta phase to broader users.

Software firms increasingly rely on product-led growth models, making dedicated community infrastructure vital for collecting feedback and retaining users. Outverse aims to replace legacy tools like Slack and Discord with a searchable, indexable knowledge ecosystem.

From the founder

"The companies that win big in the next decade will be those that proactively build closer, more authentic relationships with their user community. Outverse will offer companies a complete ecosystem for staying close to their customers, enabling a new generation of iconic products and businesses to emerge."

Co-founder at Outverse

Investor perspective

"Community is becoming the epicentre for growth, product ideation and support for modern software companies. However, existing community tools are brittle and haven’t kept up with shifting user preferences. Users are fatigued in Slack channels and overwhelmed in Discord servers. Outverse is building the community platform for the future that empowers users to do their best work and connect."
