About Us

Daniel Rafique - Black, founder of KOYNLABS

Software Engineer, Author of Blackbook Protocol.

Building at the intersection of technology, culture, ownership, and commerce.

I grew up in Brixton, South West London, with a career background in software engineering and an academic background in Business & Economics from Oxford Brookes University.

Through KOYNLABS, I build products, brands, and systems designed to help founders create, protect, and compound value. My work spans AI, ecommerce, crypto, fashion, art, music, UK trust law, company structuring, IP, and trademark licensing.

I’m also the creator of ARTIFY, KOYNFX, and PLOTT UK,

I'm a founder-focused on exploring how entrepreneurs can structure companies more efficiently using trusts, IP ownership, and trademark licensing.

KOYNLABS also extends into fashion through a collection for ambitious operators, built around this philosophy:

The Blackbook Protocol was established to bridge the gap between traditional corporate infrastructure and institutional asset protection.

In an era marked by aggressive litigation, shifting tax codes, and operational vulnerability, standard business configurations are fundamentally flawed. We do not look at business through the lens of casual accounting; we look at it through the lens of structural engineering.
