Gravity Labs is a venture studio fully backed by defy.vc, focused exclusively on the crypto and blockchain sector. The firm originates its own ideas, assembles founding teams, and writes the first seed check for the companies it incubates. Its operational model combines capital deployment with hands-on support, placing it at the earliest point in the venture lifecycle - before a traditional pre-seed round.
Technical domains of interest include DeFi infrastructure, developer tools, enterprise blockchain solutions, and what the firm terms "invisible blockchain technology" - systems where the underlying distributed ledger is not visible to the end user. The studio targets opportunities across fintech, cryptocurrency, and decentralised finance more broadly, aiming to build foundational financial infrastructure.
Gravity Labs structures its studio around recruiting entrepreneurs it considers exceptional, matching founder experience to specific ideas it has identified. The firm provides a network of strategic partners and advisors, supporting portfolio talent from initial funding through market entry. It positions itself as the originating entity for companies, rather than an external investor.
