Identify opportunities
We look for structural gaps the market has missed, then build, co-build, or acquire where the model fits our thesis.
Building ventures from zero to one.
021 is a thesis-led venture studio. We form our own theses, then build, back, and scale the ventures that prove them.
Volume hedges.
Verticality compounds.
021 is sector-agnostic, but we build deepest in three verticals, where our playbooks, partners, and portfolio already compound.
The next decade will compress a hundred years of innovation. A weekend now produces what used to take a quarter.
The durable edge that remains is distribution, relationships, and the speed to pivot. 021 is built around all three.
We don’t wait for decks. We spot what is missing, prototype it with the network, and fund what works from our own balance sheet alongside partner capital.
How 021 builds: in loops, with partners, against real demand.
Each venture takes the form that suits it: a spinout where the thesis is ours, a co-build where a partner brings an edge we lack, an acquisition where a team, product, or IP has substance but the wrong trajectory.

Find product-market fit
Portfolio operators, chain partners, and strategic allies act as sounding boards and first customers. Feedback that takes others a quarter takes us weeks, and pilot contracts close before any cold outreach.
n
Build teams to scale
At the right stage we prepare each venture to raise and pair it with operators who have scaled before. Founders get infrastructure and hands-on execution, not just advice.
We selectively advise leading companies.
021 launched in February 2023 as an acceleration and network advisory practice: brought in by networks and brands when high-profile rollouts had to land or markets needed turning around. Today, 021 focuses on building its own portfolio of companies, but makes exceptions for strategic market-leading partners.
Portfolio companies.

Pipeline.
Ventures designed up front and sequenced to come online once the layer beneath them is at scale.
Build with 021.
For founders, operators, and partners. A venture built with 021 starts with infrastructure, a network, and launch partners already in place.
Three ways we engage.
Each venture takes the form that suits it. We build from scratch where the thesis is ours, co-build where a partner brings an edge we lack, and acquire where a team, product, or IP has substance but the wrong trajectory.
We build from scratch.
021 originates the thesis and founds the venture. We assemble the team and work alongside it with our own operators across product, design, growth, and business development.
We build together.
A partner brings the thesis, capability, or capital. 021 brings operators, infrastructure, and distribution. One shared team from day one: 223 with JCorp, Gami Group with Gami Capital.
We acquire and reposition.
A team, product, or IP with real substance on the wrong trajectory. 021 acquires it, brings it into the studio, and repositions it against our thesis.
You inherit infrastructure.
Most founders spend their first year assembling what a 021 venture has on day one: launch partners, experienced operators, distribution, and capital.
021 secures institutional anchors, retail partners, and network allies before a venture ships. You launch with partners who have already said yes.
We place operators who have scaled before as CEO, CTO, or COO, drawn from 021’s network and portfolio. They already know how we build.
Priority relationships with chains and brands, distribution through our cultural communities, and onchain liquidity through Aperta and Gami Labs. A venture starts with distribution instead of searching for it.
021 funds the early stages from its own balance sheet. Partners co-invest in later rounds, and demand for a token launch is in place before a venture reaches one. We start preparing each raise before it opens.
From the founders we build with.
Arts DAO · Acquisition
“021 didn’t come in with a playbook for what Arts DAO should become. They came in to build it with us, combining their experience, infrastructure and conviction with what made Arts DAO special in the first place. They helped us from pivoting our business model, executing on it alongside us, to helping us work through growth stages.”
Gami Group · Co-build
“At Gami, we have always believed that who you build with matters as much as what you build. 021 joined our cap table as investors and quickly became true partners: their network, their energy, and their ability to bring the right people together have been invaluable to the group.”
223 · Co-build
“J-Corp has been a market leader in IP licensing and manufacturing for generations, but had no expertise in web3. 021 helped us identify our core edge, define a new business model that vastly improves the after-sales experience, and bring us to market, with hands-on help across strategy, marketing, business development, and product.”
Looty · Acquisition
“021 didn’t hand us a relaunch and step back. They built it with us, and what they brought was not only a team across product, design, and development, but the network behind that team: the capital, the partners, and the people we needed in the room. Working with them means you inherit who they already build with.”

A venture studio operating system, and why 021 builds in verticals.
By @nigelvanbro · Jun 2026 · 6 min read
In eighteen months, Stripe bought Bridge for $1.1 billion, acquired Privy, and co-incubated a stablecoin Layer-1 with Paradigm. Not to participate in stablecoin payments, but to own every layer of the stack. Coinbase and Circle are running the same play, and Bessemer’s stablecoin atlas says it plainly: functionality is consolidating up and down the stack, and point solutions risk being absorbed before they scale.
It is not only onchain finance. Pop Mart owns Labubu end to end, the IP, the manufacturing, the distribution, the retail; Sanrio has done the same for fifty years on a cat with no mouth. In hospitality, Annabel’s sold for over a billion dollars on one London address and Soho House went private at $2.7 billion, the premium paid for owning every layer between a member and the life they are buying into. Bain’s read on consumer lands where all of them do: own the consumer, own the IP, or own nothing.
Three different markets, one shift. Owning slivers is giving way to owning systems. The companies that compound through this cycle are not the ones with the best single product. They are the ones with the architecture connecting many products inside one system.
The bet.
We formed this thesis in 2023 and started building on it in 2024, with Midnight Club as the first venture out. We committed to two things then, and the market is moving toward both. One was the domains themselves: financial infrastructure, consumer, and cultural networks. The other was how we build: systemically, curating the portfolio for flywheel effects instead of running every venture as an island. The first call has aged well. The second was the less obvious one in 2023, and it reads a lot more obvious now.
Volume hedges. Verticality compounds.
The instinct most venture portfolios run on is volume. Make enough bets and a couple pay for the rest. That is the right design when your job is to allocate capital and let the winners run, and it is how many of the best funds are built. It is a different design from ours, because our job is to build the companies, and building does not spread across thirty unrelated bets the way a check does. A portfolio of unrelated bets is diversified, which is another way of saying no single bet makes any other one more likely to work. We wanted the opposite property: a few verticals we have real conviction in, several companies inside each, designed so that what one venture builds, the next one benefits from. Diversification protects the downside. Verticality compounds the upside.
Volume
Many unrelated bets, a couple carry the rest. Diversification protects the downside.
Verticality
Financial
Consumer
Cultural
A few stacks, each venture inherits the one beneath. Verticality compounds the upside.
Two ways to build a portfolio. Volume spreads risk across unrelated bets; verticality stacks ventures so each inherits the one beneath.
Three commitments hold it together. We form theses on multi-year horizons, not metas, the structural movements underneath rather than the narrative cycles on top. We build for revenue first, with real users and real customers, using crypto rails where they make a venture better rather than where they are the entire reason it exists; roughly half the portfolio does not touch crypto at all. And we build an ecosystem, not a portfolio, designed so each new venture launches with more behind it than the last.
Three verticals.
Financial infrastructure is the primary vertical and the deepest one. Institutional capital is moving onchain; what it still lacks is the load-bearing layer underneath, the protocols, vaults, and structured products that let serious money actually operate there. That is what we build, and it compounds on its own terms regardless of what the other two verticals do. Over time, it is also the rails that the rest of the portfolio settles into, but it does not need that argument to justify the bet.
Consumer is the scale side of distribution: products and brands engineered to turn attention into revenue. Connected retail that turns a one-time buyer into a direct relationship. Food and beverage concepts built to become brands rather than locations. Campaign mechanics that make an audience participate instead of scroll. Each is a real business on its own; together, they are how attention becomes income.
Cultural networks are the density side of the same bet. Reach can be bought. Rooms cannot. Midnight Club sits at the top of the influence hierarchy, among the people who decide what deserves attention in the first place. Arts DAO carries that outward through creators, collectors, and their community. Evadere gives it physical form, and Kluster is the coordination layer that lets separate networks behave like one. Narrative control runs top down through this layer, and it can only be built.
Distribution is the through-line of those last two on purpose. As AI keeps lowering the cost of building, technical and capital moats compress, and distribution is the moat that holds. OpenAI made the point with its balance sheet in April, when its first media acquisition turned out to be TBPN, a daily show with a modest audience and outsized pull among the people who decide what matters in tech. The lab doing the most to compress technical moats bought density, not reach. Culture and consumer are distribution in its two strongest forms: density and scale. Financial infrastructure compounds underneath them in any cycle.
Built for flywheel effects.
The portfolio is curated so the ventures reinforce each other, because that is the structural advantage a studio has over any standalone company. A solo venture assembles its network, infrastructure, and distribution from zero. Ventures inside 021 share them from day one.
Where the flywheel is already real, it is concrete. Inside the financial vertical, the stack runs as one system today: Gami Labs curates institutional capital in live markets, and Aperta is the settlement layer it resolves onto, each feeding the next. Inside the cultural vertical, the networks interlock by design: Kluster coordinates the communities, while Arts DAO and Midnight Club run one network in two registers, broad and curated.
Across verticals, the connections are built in before they are needed. A consumer launch lands in rooms the cultural layer already owns instead of launching cold, and the financial rails stand ready to capitalize and bank ventures as they grow into them. Not every loop is spinning at full speed today, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. The portfolio is designed as one system and rolled out in cohorts, with later ventures like Banked and Assetize sequenced to come online once the layer beneath them is at scale. The design work is done up front, so that every venture added makes the others cheaper to grow.
The factory.
01n
A founder takes one company from zero to one.A studio makes that repeatable, and then makes it compound.
A venture inside the studio starts with what a standalone founder spends years assembling: the network, the operators, the rails, and the capital.
We did not theorize this model. We built and ran these launch and distribution systems inside other companies, advising and accelerating other people’s ventures, before we turned them on our own portfolio. That is how we know they repeat.
So we built the factory, not just the companies. Each venture has its own dedicated lead and team, built out over time. Our leadership never steps away from them; we stay in constant contact with founders to keep each venture growing, and we insert our own specialist operators into the moments that decide outcomes, the product rollouts, the go-to-market pushes, the high-load stretches where a team needs hands. Designers and developers are shared across the portfolio, the execution layer pooled so that building stays fast and cheap. A founder takes one company from zero to one. A studio’s job is to make that repeatable, and then to make it compound. 0 → 1 → n.
Verticality over volume is a choice about where value accrues. Volume hedges; verticality compounds. We would rather own a system whose parts make each other stronger.
Over the coming weeks, I will deep dive into each vertical, starting with financial infrastructure. Stay tuned.

Zero to one: the move that matters most.
The hardest and most valuable work is taking something from nothing to something. That is where the name comes from.
A founder takes one company from zero to one.
A studio’s job is to make that repeatable, and then to make it compound.
021 is built to do that venture after venture, across cycles.
Read the thesisFrom accelerating others to founding our own.
The network sees gaps early, we build ventures against them, and the partners who surfaced the opening become the launch partners.
Feb 2023
Founded
021 began as an acceleration and advisory practice, brought in by networks and brands when a high-profile rollout had to land or a market needed turning around.
2023 to 24
Acceleration & advisory
After working with 25+ startups, the pattern was clear. The frameworks, networks, and operator relationships we had built for others were worth more when we owned the output.
Apr 2024
Pivot to studio
We stopped taking acceleration mandates, with rare exceptions, and started building: founding ventures from scratch, co-building with strategic partners, and acquiring teams with substance on the wrong trajectory.

1. What is Zero to One?
- Zero to One ("021") is a venture studio that sells Tickets, each priced at US $10,000, to eligible buyers.
- Tickets are sold as non-transferable soulbound NFTs and must be used within the 021 Ecosystem within 18 months of their purchase for discounted tokens in one of 021's partnered Web3 ventures.
2. Ticket Characteristics
Price & Purchase
- Each Ticket costs US $10,000 and is paid for in stablecoins (e.g., USDC).
- Tickets are non-refundable (other than where there is a shortfall of partnered Web3 venture projects during the relevant utilisation period) and are non-transferable.
Utilisation Period
- Tickets must be used within 18 months or they expire.
- Upon the expiration of a Ticket for non-use, 021 will in its sole and absolute discretion automatically allocate such Tickets across one or more projects on the 021 Ecosystem. In the event there is not sufficient capacity in such projects at the relevant time, then any remaining Tickets will be forfeited and voided.
Discounted Token Access
- When Tickets are used through the 021 Ecosystem, each partnered Web3 venture guarantees at least a 25% discount on their token from its public token sale price or an equivalent round.
- Some partnered Web3 ventures may offer additional perks, such as favorable vesting terms or added bonuses.
3. Process Flow in a Nutshell
Ticket Sale
- 021 mints and sells Tickets for US $10,000 each.

- A central portal tracks available capacity, discount levels, and utilisation periods.
- When a holder of Tickets decides to participate in an offering from a Web3 venture they simply submit a request through the portal.
- If capacity is available, and subject to any additional terms and conditions imposed by the relevant Web3 venture, tokens from the Web3 venture are distributed (subject to any applicable lock-up and vesting period) at the agreed discounted rate and the relevant number of Tickets are "used" (i.e. voided in the smart contract) in the course of the transaction and are no longer available to such user.
Annexure B: Tickets Sale Terms and Conditions
