Crypto angel investors: 43 names on 13 rounds, 20 at Jeeves

By NAUT Research · · 7 min read

43 Crypto angel investors individuals backing 13 rounds at 9 companies in the NAUT database, read 27 October 2026. Logos: Jeeves, Spiko, Nous Research, Noah, tZERO, Tare, Evernorth, InfiniFi, dtcpay.

This crypto angel investors list names the 43 individuals NAUT holds as backers on 13 funding rounds at 9 companies, read on 27 October 2026. 20 of them sit on Jeeves rounds and 6 each on Spiko and Nous Research rounds, none of the 43 appears against 2 different companies, and every name below links to its own NAUT page.

How this list was built: on 27 October 2026 NAUT read every round in its database whose backer list carries a person rather than a firm, counted each angel a single time per round, and kept the round size and date each company's own NAUT page shows. That gives 43 named angels across 13 rounds at 9 companies, announced between 2 June 2021 and 6 October 2026. 11 of the 13 rounds disclose an amount, and 2 do not: tZERO's round of 14 September 2026 and Evernorth's PIPE. 2 further rounds were left out: 1 whose only angel row stores a username with no person behind it, and 1 angel round at a company NAUT carries no crypto or Web3 sector for. Written by NAUT Research.

What a BD team can do with the crypto angel investors list

  • 4 of the 13 rounds closed inside the 60 days to 27 October 2026, so 7 of the 43 angels wrote a cheque in that window: 3 at tZERO, 2 at Tare, 1 at dtcpay and 1 at Spiko.
  • An angel who backs a company is a warm path into that company's founders, and each project page here lists the team.
  • 3 companies hold most of the names. Jeeves carries 20 angels, Spiko 6 and Nous Research 6, so 3 project pages give you 32 of the 43.
  • NAUT flags an angel as the round lead on 1 of these 13 rounds, tZERO's round of 14 September 2026, so on the other 12 the terms were set elsewhere.
How a BD team can work this list
  1. Start with September 20263 rounds closed that month: tZERO's undisclosed round with 3 angels, Tare's $13.25M Seed with 2 and dtcpay's $15M Extended Series A with 1.
  2. Open the angel's pageEach of the 43 names links to a NAUT profile with the X handle NAUT holds for that person.
  3. Work the company insteadJeeves carries 20 of the 43 and Spiko 6, so 1 project page hands you a cluster of names and the team to pitch.
  4. Check who ledMarc Cohodes and Max Cohodes are the only leads here, both on tZERO's round of 14 September 2026.

What this tells a founder raising a crypto angel round

  • Round size does not predict the angel count. Nous Research's $5.2M Seed drew 6 angels and Noah's $22M Seed drew 3, while the $180M Series C on this list drew 1.
  • The round carrying the most individual angels is Jeeves' $57M Series B with 12, then Jeeves' $26M Series A and Nous Research's $5.2M Seed with 6 each.
  • Jeeves kept adding angels round after round: 1 on the Seed, 6 on the Series A, 12 on the Series B and 1 on the Series C, so a first angel cheque is worth asking to repeat.
  • Each of the 43 angels points at exactly 1 company in this data, so an introduction from one of them reaches that company and its team.
How a founder can build an angel list from this table
  1. Pick the closest roundNous Research's $5.2M Seed drew 6 angels and Noah's $22M Seed drew 3, so match your raise to the nearest size.
  2. Read that round's namesThe table gives every angel on it, the round type and the announce date, so you can ask about a deal they actually did.
  3. Take the warm pathEach NAUT profile carries the X handle NAUT holds for that angel, which is the shortest route to a direct message.
  4. Time the ask6 of the 43 backed a round announced in September 2026, so those angels are deploying now.

How to reach the decision makers

Every company in this list has a NAUT project page holding its rounds, its backers and its team, so 1 page gives you the angel and the person who can sign.

  • Jeeves, Spiko and Nous Research hold 32 of the 43 angels between them.
  • Noah, tZERO, Tare, Evernorth, InfiniFi and dtcpay hold 1 to 3 angels each, on rounds announced between 11 February 2025 and 18 September 2026.
  • A person page on NAUT carries the handle NAUT holds and the rounds that person is tied to, which is the check to run before you send anything.
