About Montauk Capital

About Outpost
Outpost, a pre-seed stage stealth startup created within Montauk’s venture studio, is building the autonomous infrastructure platform for multi-OEM robotics environments. Today, operators must stitch together separate vendors for power generation and backup, charging, cooling, GPU and edge compute, communications, fleet management, and cybersecurity. The result is complex to deploy, difficult to secure, and costly to operate, particularly across mixed fleets of robots and other autonomous systems.
With global robotics spend forecast to grow from roughly $62B in 2025 to more than $225B by 2034, and humanoid deployments alone projected to exceed $150B in that window, every new fleet will need on-site power, compute, and coordination that no robot maker supplies, an infrastructure layer we estimate at $20–35B.
Outpost brings these layers together in one modular, secure-by-design platform. Pre-engineered, container-sized pods provide energy storage and conversion and AI compute and charges robots, autonomous guided vehicles, and equipment while they remain in use..
Commercial verticals include autonomous warehouses and fulfillment centers, manufacturing sites, mining and energy operations, defense and aerospace, ports and airports, edge AI and robotics campuses, and disaster-response or other remote and temporary environments.
