GM, we are Orthogonal Labs, an evergreen crypto venture backed by a team of skilled engineers, builders, traders, and investors.

Disruptive innovation often diverges independently from established practices or technologies. Metaphorically, it resembles a vector orthogonal to existing dimensions.

Crypto has embodied this orthogonal nature from day one, operating outside the conventional realm. At Orthogonal Labs, we support mission-driven founders in the crypto space who are eager to pioneer any orthogonal dimension, challenging established paradigms.
