Arkē Ventures.
Editorial fund brand with a Three.js constellation hero and scroll-timed camera sequence.
An early-stage venture fund investing in frontier technology — AI infrastructure, robotics, space systems, quantum compute. The thesis is "fund the infrastructure layer." The brand site had to read like a research paper, not a pitch deck.
Brand direction, motion, and end-to-end build. Worked with the partner group on positioning before the first pixel.

Position
Studied the fund's deal flow and partner essays. Found the through-line: they fund the infrastructure layer, not applications. Every design decision reinforces that — dense, technical, confident.
Typography
Paired IBM Plex Mono with a neutral grotesque. Dense information, precision spacing, numbered sections. Academic more than corporate. Readers should feel like they're studying, not consuming.
Motion language
A constellation field: each portfolio company is a point of light, scroll flies the camera past them one-by-one. The fund's thesis unfolds as coordinates in space — literally and figuratively.
Build
Next.js App Router, react-three-fiber for the constellation, D3 for portfolio allocation diagrams, GSAP ScrollTrigger timing the narrative. Deployed to Vercel.
Constellation hero
Scroll-tied camera through a field of 40+ portfolio companies, each one lighting as the camera approaches. Three.js with instanced meshes for performance.
Thesis pages
Type-first sections with custom SVG diagrams explaining the fund's investment framework. Reads like a research paper's abstract.
Portfolio index
Dense tabular index in monospace type, sortable by year / stage / sector. Rendered server-side for instant first load.
Partner pages
Editorial portraits with pulled quotes about each partner's investment lens. Long-form companion content to the thesis.
Deal-flow form
Minimal, mono-typed, precise — mirrors the brand's rigor. No stock-photo CTA, no urgency language. Just the fields that matter.
A fund site that reads like a research paper — dense, technical, confident. Less gloss, more substance. The visual language signals expertise before the first word is read.
