HELLO
Hello, my name is Henry Finn and I am an Artist and Inventor who builds AI-native entertainment universes and the technology companies around them.
I grew up addicted to comic books, movies, anime, games... all things that I was told would ruin my life and instead became my everything. Add an insatiable curiosity to play with the latest technologies (I was early to VR, AR, AI and Blockchain) and that's pretty much my day job.
I build worlds, platforms, communities, multi-reality games, and AI-powered experiences that turn IP into living ecosystems.
Being an IP kid, I grew up absorbing the values and lessons from my favorite books, comics, and games. For instance, Peter Parker, a particular favorite of mine, taught me that with great power comes great responsibility. Or Naruto Uzumaki, who taught me the power of positivity and hope.
Now that the era of AI and Crypto has brought upon the greatest decentralization of power mankind has ever known, I believe IP of the future has a greater role and responsibility to humanity. (more on that another day)
The point is all day, every day I think deeply (as I can) about the meaning of the human condition, the purpose of technology, and how those two things collide at the intersection of IP & Storytelling!
It's not just my passion it is my life purpose to push the boundaries of Art in a way that allows for the greatest amount of people in the world to benefit.
I build companies that further humanity through Art & Entertainment.
I also grew up working in non-profits since high school and have a strong sense of connection to the people, and my core underlying focus is on improving the lives of the people around me.
I don't just want to change how people entertain themselves, but how they improve themselves through the power of storytelling and technology.
My thesis is that the next major entertainment franchises will be built differently. And brands of the future will be judged by the people differently.
Whether it be anime, comics, gaming, or any platform, our real business is to touch the hearts and minds of the people around us whilst offering them the tools to improve their lives and the lives of the people around them.
Thanks for listening!
Henry
WHO IS HENRY FINN
Henry Finn is an award-winning creative technologist with multiple exits and deep experience creating high-level productions across every major shift in media technology — from the first MiniDV tape to VR/AR, 360 video, blockchain, and AI — for some of the world's biggest talent and brands.
A rare operator, Finn has worked with leading technology companies including Google, Facebook, Samsung, and Spotify; gaming leaders such as Activision; and artists and athletes including Johnny Depp, Jamie Foxx, and Steph Curry. Starting in 2020, he also helped raise money for Andrew Yang on both his presidential and mayoral runs, driven by Yang's early focus on artificial intelligence and its impact on the future.
In 2023, Finn led the acquisition of 0N1 Force, the first crypto anime project in history, and has since reformed it into the first AI-powered self-improvement anime franchise focused on using AI to support youth mental health and is currently working with some of the world's largest anime IP to develop.
His work sits at the intersection of IP, anime, gaming, crypto, and frontier AI. He is part storyteller, part technologist, part entrepreneur focused on building the next generation of East-West entertainment franchises.
Finn has recently founded GK Labs, an incubator and private network for IP/Entertainment executives as well as founders and investors across Web2 and Web3.
He is running 0N1 Force and GK Labs, building at Animori, making films at Unicorn Studios, co-building Executive Intelligence, and hosting Silicon Valley Insider.
THE UNIVERSE
A set of inter-connected operating companies building AI-native entertainment universes and the technology around them to create autonomous economies.
Imagine the Marvel Universe & Y Combinator had a baby, and that I am the crazy Stan Lee-type who believes that with great power.. comes great responsibility.
And nothing is more powerful than our imagination, is it?
GK LABS
The fund and the incubator. Backs and builds AI and crypto companies in IP and entertainment, and runs a private network of the executives, founders, and investors who move that industry. Part of OFR Fund, founded by Wei Zhou, former CFO of Binance. Owns deal flow, IP development, and institutional partnerships, and puts operators inside the companies it backs instead of writing checks and waiting.
IP PORTFOLIO
0N1 Force
The first blockchain anime IP, and now the first AI-powered anime franchise. One of the most recognized properties to come out of Web3, rebuilt as a multimedia universe on a single thesis: anime is the most powerful vehicle there is for youth mental health and self-improvement.
Oni Hunter X
The 0N1 Force series written by Eisner Award-winning Paul Jenkins (Marvel's Inhumans, Wolverine: Origin, The Sentry) with world-building by Bryan Li (IMCMPLX), starring the brand's anti-hero Joji. Incubated with the 0N1 community; launching as a flagship story world on enGEN3, with GK Labs as seed investor.
Mooniez
Born from the refuse of broken dreams, leftover pizza, and degenerate energy, they broke out of the dark side of the moon. Drago, PWINCESS, and Barf — a chaotic lunar IP. Give them a picture and they remix it into mayhem.
COMPANIES
Enclave Studios
A studio building original universes at the intersection of East and West, and of storytelling and frontier technology. Comics, film, anime, gaming, immersive. Co-founded with Paul Jenkins, Ko Mori, and Bryan Li. A film is a product; a universe is a platform that compounds across every medium.
Metacomica
The bridge expanding Image's horizons into Japan, and Japan's into America.
Authentic Japanese and Korean IP, published in Western comic format — a new audience for Image, and the American format carried into Asia. The original IP is preserved, rights-holder approved, every time. We bring licensed Eastern IP and the creators to adapt it. It opens manga and webtoon readers in Image's own market. We protect the source IP — canon intact, rights holders in step.
Unicorn Studios
Film and content studio for technology companies. Founder-led documentary, brand film, and original series for companies that have a real story and nobody inside who can tell it. Full stack: narrative, production, and publishing. Johnny Depp, and more.
Executive Intelligence
For operators who need their company to show up in AI-generated answers, then have a product, data platform, or agent they can actually run. It replaces the split between a visibility shop, a product studio, and an AI theatre brief that never ships: one accountable path from audit through delivery and handoff. Stay invisible when buyers ask an answer engine, or keep shuttling work between disconnected systems, and you are already paying for the gap.
ADVISORY
Silicon Valley Insider
Long-form conversations with the people building AI infrastructure, covering the technology, the markets, and the capital behind both.
