Why it matters
Fundraising history is one of the first things people look up when evaluating a crypto project. How much did they raise, from whom, and at what valuation tells you a lot about who's betting on a project and how much runway it has. This information is public but fragmented across press releases, Crunchbase, and Twitter announcements. Structuring it in Geo connects projects to their investors and makes funding patterns across the ecosystem visible.
What to publish
For each of the top 100 projects, publish their full public fundraising history
For each funding round, include:
Round type (pre-seed, seed, Series A/B/C, strategic, token sale, etc.)
Amount raised
Date announced
Valuation if publicly disclosed
Lead investor(s) — link to Company/Person entities
All participating investors — link to entities (create if needed)
Create Company entities for major investors that don't exist yet:
e.g. a16z crypto, Paradigm, Polychain, Sequoia, Dragonfly, Pantera, Multicoin, Electric Capital, Coinbase Ventures
Link funding rounds to the parent Project entity
Tag with relevant Topics (e.g. venture capital, fundraising)
Scope
100 projects. Prioritize projects with significant public funding history. Capture every publicly disclosed round, not just the most recent one.
Potential sources
Crunchbase, DealRoom, The Block research, Messari, project blog posts and press releases, investor portfolio pages, RootData, Twitter/X announcements.
