Timeline
5 events from 2023 to 2026, across founded, earnings figures, our listing and listing changes.
What this shows
Everything dated we know about Outlier on one time axis, one lane per kind of event: company milestones from Wikidata, press and awards with their years, sourced earnings figures by their as-of date, and every change to this listing. Toggle lanes to focus; hover a dot for the detail.
How it is calculated
site_timeline() plus the public change log. Founding year is our verified one (Wikidata adds founders when the years agree). Press items and awards are placed by the year in their title. Earnings figures use their as-of date. Listing changes are logged automatically whenever a tracked field (fees, payouts, availability, status and so on) is edited. Dates with only a year are placed at the start of that year.
