Venture studios place concentrated bets across market shifts they identify.

For @021_xyz, that's three verticals:
- Cultural networks
- Consumer
- Financial infrastructure

Culture moves markets, consumer distributes it at scale, financial infrastructure powers both. All on shared rails, so every venture makes the next cheaper and faster to build.

Every venture we run lives in one of these three categories.

Few curators are as hyper professional and competent as the Gami team

really enjoy working with them

Arts DAO lore : Episode 1

The most impactful thing i feel i will die with is knowing how small interactions change everything.

- Spoke in DMs in 2022
- Met in in Singapore in 2024
- helped him move to Dubai 2025
- Personally got him to live in the same area as me
- Also had the privilege to invest in his company @Beezie way before the TCG market blew up

And ended up being one of the coolest relationships i got to foster in the last year.

@Pratik_in_Web3 and @mstweek are in some ways family to me (atleast i feel it :P i hope they feel same)

The way we get to do dinners together, talk business, play sports, create content with our companies and sometimes just have the deepest conversations is something i am greatful for...

I have had the previlage to meet and gather some of the most amazing people in the world

And with everything we are building with @arts_dao circle i want to be able to bring all those stories, people, connections, vibes available to people who align with those values in a way more tangible way than ever before

Because if we are not enriching each others lives WTF are we doing ????

[Nigel @nigelvanbro]

@Saram_ath Sounds like you need to meet some @arts_dao ppl ser

[Nigel @nigelvanbro]

@arts_dao @021_xyz Wait till they see my Arts DAO Circle profile 😤

[Nigel @nigelvanbro]

Been pretty quiet on here throughout choppy markets this year, but we've been heads-down at @021_xyz.

Going to start sharing what we're building, how the portfolio's doing, and where we think the next few years go.

[Arts DAO @arts_dao]

Opportunities aren't one feature.

They're a module layer built around our community's needs.

Investing in early rounds.
Recruiting ( Jobs, Creator deals, Partnership deals)
Forums.
Perks.
Events.
Lounges.

Each gradually rolled out after early access and shaped by our members.

[Rahim Mahtab @Rahim_mahtab]

Did you know in Arts DAO we had access to early rounds in

- Anthropic
- Feastables

This is not because i or someone on the team has some magic wand, its just access because of people.

The old idea of you are the sum of the people you surround yourself with is something i have always taken seriously...

And i have been blessed to have met and connected with people who are able to tap into brands i couldnt even dream of having access to because i am still working on going up the ladder

The Arts DAO circle is being built to extend this, the network effects of "i know a guy who knows a guy" can absolutely change the course of your life

I really believe that...

Hit up the TG for early access (link below)

@WhiteHouse The US has become a joke.

[Arts DAO @arts_dao]

The internet is loud.
And most of it is noise.

Intel mixed with shitposting,
Segmented across social medias and chat groups.

All optimized for engagement and attention, and there is zero value.

Circle pulls what hundreds of verified members are reading, sharing, and posting into one feed.
Equally weighted. Mixed with what the community is building.

Less noise. More signal.

[Rahim Mahtab @Rahim_mahtab]

"Hey Rahim We should exchange telegrams"...

Rahim to himself ...
"Sure lets do it when neither of us are sadly going to speak again"

but Imagine having a personal Executive curator that bring you what need

- investors ? got it
- Podcast guests ? got it
- Partnerships ? got it
- Next early stage deal ? got it
- Going to bali for the summer want to know people there ? got it

soooo sooo much more coming to @arts_dao circle

@Usoppu Have to get it everytime I'm back in town

CFOs reviewing the latest Anthropic bill

[Rahim Mahtab @Rahim_mahtab]

I have screamed "Dubai is alpha" for 5 years....

I am bringing the entire alpha to everyone around the world...

Dubai TOKEN 2049 has become the biggest crypto in the entire world, and thats because everyone wants to tap into the Dubai OASIS

Arts DAO is bringing the oasis to you whilst you sit with your beach views in Bali, Portugal wherever

And thats just the tip of the ice-berg....

[Nigel @nigelvanbro]

@Rahim_mahtab @AlexFinn Hmmm, will check it out good shout

[Arts DAO @arts_dao]

Set up your profile and let us get to work.

What you're building.
Where you are.
Who you want to meet.
What you can offer.

Arts DAO Circle reads every field and routes the right people, intros, and opportunities to you.

Hundreds of verified members.

Matched based on what they are looking for.

[Rahim Mahtab @Rahim_mahtab]

The @arts_dao referral model we have planned is not only super massive but it won’t exploit people like this

Clipping, InfoFi majority of these ecosystems have brutal rates

If you are approved to be quality it will be like something the space hasn’t seen

[Rahim Mahtab @Rahim_mahtab]

Arts DAO Circle is being built for people entering the next phase of their life.

people who feel like they’ve outgrown certain rooms, conversations, same podcast guests, some KOL drama.....

Early access dropping soon (TG below)

The biggest opportunities in my life never happened publicly. Behind closed doors is where things changed for me

Your are likely connected to billion-dollar networks and don’t realize it, if you have been around for even a few years….you honestly are...
Which is crazy to think about !!!!

The gap is “How do you tap into that”

You follow thousands of people online… but how many do you actually know?
like reallyyyyy know.....

What have they built?
Who can they connect you to?
What rooms do they quietly sit in?

You could buy the rarest NFT in the world and still enter a Discord where nobody knows who is who.
(I love my jpegs but massive gap)

In my own circle, I’ve had access to:
- Early Anthropic
- Early Feastables (Mr Beast)
- Private opportunities that you dont see thrown around easy

The funny thing is i honestly think tapping into them isnt as hard its all just about intention and curating your time and environment

Some of the most valuable people I’ve met barely even post online because they arent creators

I honestly think alot of us here are lucky because we are close to the next (probably last) economic boom
- AI
- tokenization
- creator economies
- consumer brands going onchain or just very content heavy

And there is so much being built in this realm that so many are completely unaware of

I think about what my next 5 years of life are going to be like and how do i want to grow personally, philosophically, financially, career wise and its vastly different to like my last 5.

And thats who the Arts DAO circle is for
for people trying to go from 2 → 10.

And most importantly:
It’s not open to everyone. You will always need approval.
