Build with 021.
For founders, operators, and partners: what a venture inherits on day one. The infrastructure, the network, and the launch surface that turns a build into PMF instead of a search for it.
Three ways we engage.
Every venture gets the shape that fits it. We build from scratch where we see a thesis we can’t ignore, co-build where a partner brings complementary edge, and acquire where a team, product, or IP has real substance but wrong trajectory.
We build from scratch.
021 originates the thesis and starts the venture. We assemble the team and supply our operators, product, design, growth, BD, alongside.
We build together.
A partner brings the thesis, capability, or capital; 021 brings operators, infrastructure, and distribution. Shared team from day one. Examples: 223 with Jcorp, Gami Labs with Gami Capital, IG11 with Gami Capital and BB8.
We acquire and reposition.
A team, product, or IP with real substance but wrong trajectory. 021 acquires, integrates into the studio, repositions against our thesis.
Day one, you inherit infrastructure.
Most founders spend their first year assembling what 021 hands you on day one: launch partners, operators who’ve scaled before, capital pathways, distribution rails. We compress that work into the time it takes to start shipping.
Named launch partners
You don’t start with “we’re looking for partners.” You start with names on your first slide. 021 secures institutional anchors, retail partners, and network allies before a venture ships, so you’re launching to partners who already said yes.
Operator bench
We match ventures with operators who’ve scaled before: CEO, CTO, COO placements drawn from 021’s network and portfolio. You don’t recruit blind; you inherit people who already know our playbook.
Network rails
Networks and brands that move real capital: priority partner relationships, distribution through our cultural communities, on-chain liquidity through Aperta and Gami Labs. A venture plugs into distribution instead of hoping for it.
Capital pathways
Balance-sheet capital for the early stages, partner co-invest for the rounds that follow, and a ready demand base for the token launch when the venture reaches it. Fundraise orchestration that begins before the raise opens.
Where we go deep.
Volume hedges. Verticality compounds.
021 is sector-agnostic: we'll back thesis-led ideas wherever they find us. These are the verticals we've gone deepest in, where our playbooks, partners, and portfolio already compound. Every venture we build, across any sector, finds synergy in the 021 network.
DeFi infrastructure
Our primary vertical: a compounding engine on its own, and the substrate for everything else we build. We build at every layer of the stack: base yield protocols, institutional vaults, structured funds, and vertical-specific products that build against these primitives. Beyond the stack itself, it’s the rails through which 021’s consumer and cultural ventures get tokenized, capitalized, and distributed.
Consumer & retail
Distribution at scale: measured in SKUs, installs, and launch partners. Connected retail platforms turn physical products into feedback surfaces. AI models extend top IPs across digital and physical channels. F&B concepts ship as cultural brands. Gamified campaign mechanics and ad-automation layers extend the consumer stack.
Cultural networks
Reach can be bought. Rooms cannot. Density over volume, compounding through craft. Arts DAO runs the membership and IRL clubhouse model; Midnight Club operates the luxury experiential layer; Evadere produces cultural F&B concepts; Kluster is the coordination protocol that threads networks together.
We build beside the chains, brands, and funds that move the market.
50+ partners across supply and distribution, blockchains, brands, venture capital, launchpads, exchanges, market making, and media.
Chain networks, institutional capital, retail platforms, media networks: each one is a surface you inherit when you build with 021.
52 partners across supply and distribution, blockchains, brands, venture capital, launchpads, exchanges, market makers, and media.
