Find well-funded crypto teams ($10M+) with verified Telegram contacts for outreach.
Why it matters
Parallel subagents search multiple VC portfolios simultaneously, cutting research time compared to manually checking each portfolio and verifying contacts one by one.
Typical use cases
- Building a cold outreach list of funded DeFi protocols
- Researching Paradigm or Dragonfly portfolio companies for BD prospecting
- Finding verified Telegram contacts at Solana ecosystem projects
- Checking which web3 teams have already been researched vs pending
- Identifying bridge and interop teams from recent funding announcements
Source instructions
Web3 Target Team Research
Find well-funded crypto teams ($10M+) with verified Telegram contacts for outreach.
Quick Start
Hunt for crypto teams from [SOURCE]
Example sources: Paradigm portfolio, recent funding news, Solana ecosystem, DeFi protocols
How It Works
- Spawn hunters - Parallel subagents search different VC portfolios/sources
- Find teams - Filter for $10M+ funding, check if already tracked
- Verify TG - Screenshot t.me/{handle}, require pfp OR bio with company affiliation
- Add to CSV - Append verified contacts to master CSV
Commands
Start Hunting
Start crypto hunters targeting [SOURCES]
Spawns 3 hunters with specified focus areas.
Check Status
How many teams do we have?
Returns count from crypto-master.csv.
Stop Hunting
Stop the crypto hunters

CSV Format
Master CSV: crypto-master.csv
Name,Chain,Category,Website,X Link,Funding,Contacts
Uniswap,ETH,DEX,https://uniswap.org,https://x.com/Uniswap,$165M,"Hayden Adams (Founder) @haaboris"
No-Contacts CSV: crypto-no-contacts.csv (teams researched but no valid TG found)
Chain values: ETH, SOL, BASE, ARB, OP, MATIC, AVAX, BTC, MULTI, N/A
TG Verification Rules
A TG handle is valid if the profile has:
- Profile picture (pfp), OR
- Bio mentioning the company/role
Invalid: Empty profiles, wrong person, channels instead of personal accounts
Hunter Task Template
See references/hunter-task.md for the full subagent task template.
Auto-Hunting Setup
To run hunters continuously:
- Create a cron job that checks hunter count every 10 minutes
- Add to HEARTBEAT.md to auto-respawn if < 3 hunters active
See references/auto-hunt-setup.md for cron configuration.
Best Sources (by success rate)
High yield (~40%+ TG conversion):
- Consumer/DeFi protocols (Paradigm, Dragonfly, Framework)
- Bridge/interop projects
- Security/auditing firms
Medium yield (~20-30%):
- Gaming/NFT (Animoca, Immutable)
- L2s and infrastructure
- Asia-focused VCs (Hashed, OKX Ventures)
Low yield (<20%):
- Enterprise/institutional (Point72, Tiger Global)
- Oracles and data providers
- Social/community platforms
Tips
- Always
grep -i "TeamName"both CSVs before adding - Team members often have different X vs TG handles
- Founders have lower TG presence than BD/marketing roles
- Recent funding announcements = fresher, more findable contacts
