GK Labs

Building the Future of Web3 Through Culture, Community & Code

GK Labs has officially launched as a strategic joint venture between Old Fashion Research (OFR) — a $100M crypto-native venture capital firm founded by ex-Binance leaders — and 0N1 Force, a trailblazing anime lifestyle brand and Web3 IP powerhouse.

Together, they’ve created GK Labs to incubate, acquire, and advise next-generation projects across AI, NFTs, digital identity, gaming, DeFi, and community infrastructure. Their north star? Community-first innovation that actually matters.

What GK Labs Stands For

At GK Labs, we don’t chase hype — we build legacy. We're not here for vaporware and rug pulls. We’re here to find and fuel the future of culture and creativity onchain.

Led by Executive Director Henry Finn aka “Starlordy” (CEO of 0N1 Force) and President Wei Zhou (Managing Partner at OFR), GK Labs is where big ideas meet real execution.

Three Pillars of Impact

1. Community: Fueling Real Culture, Not Hype

GK Labs is doubling down on authentic community building. From Reddit to Discord to real-world fandoms, we’re investing in creators and movements that bring people together. Our mission is to empower the next generation of community-led projects that stand the test of time.

2. Entertainment: The Hunt for Web3’s Mr. Beast

We believe the next global icons will be born from the blockchain. GK Labs is actively scouting and supporting content creators, animators, and IP builders to lead the entertainment frontier — not just through NFTs, but through serialized stories, AI characters, and cross-platform engagement.

3. AI: Tools That Empower Identity, Not Replace It

Forget doomer AI narratives. We’re building with a different philosophy: AI should amplify human creativity, not erase it. From lore-building engines to avatar evolution to creator copilots, our investments and incubations in AI are designed to unlock expression, productivity, and play.

Strategic Services

• Incubation: Hands-on support for early-stage projects, including AI tooling, token design, storytelling, and go-to-market.

• Acquisition: Scouting and absorbing high-potential projects that align with our culture-first thesis.

• Advisory: From DeFi to DAOs, we help teams navigate Web3’s noise with clear strategy and creative edge.
