Crypto CFO: 3 steps to find one, 124 on file at 124 teams

By NAUT Research · · 6 min read

124 Crypto CFO people with a current CFO title at 124 project teams on NAUT, read 13 November 2026. Logos: Illuvium, Danny Wilson, Mythical Games, Kasper Mai Jørgensen, Teneo Protocol, Nico Prugger.

To find a crypto CFO, open the project's page on NAUT, open the person filed under it with a CFO title, then confirm that title on 1 source outside NAUT before you pitch. NAUT tracks 124 people whose current title is CFO or chief financial officer at 124 project teams, read on 13 November 2026, and 101 of them have a LinkedIn profile on file.

Data note. Every count was read from NAUT's own database on 13 November 2026, read-only. A person counts when their record is live, their link to the company has no end date, the company is a live NAUT project, and the title holds CFO or chief financial officer; any title with "former" or "ex-" is left out. 1 of the 124 CFO records, Danny Wilson's at Illuvium, was checked against sources outside NAUT for this article; the other 123 were not put through that check. NAUT Research wrote it.

How do you find a crypto startup CFO?

You find a crypto startup CFO in 3 steps: the team page, the person page, then 1 outside source. Each step answers a different question.

  • The team page says who. Every project page on NAUT lists the people filed under it with their titles. A CFO title sits on 124 people at 124 teams, and 62 of those teams have at least 1 funding round on NAUT's record.
  • The person page says how. 104 of the 124 have their own NAUT page, which shows which channels NAUT has on file for them.
  • An outside source says whether it is still true. 25 of the 124 also carry a co-founder or founding title, so the CFO seat can be 1 of several jobs. Check before you write.

Crypto CFO lookup worked on Illuvium

Here is the same lookup on 1 funded team, Illuvium, a Web3 game studio whose linked games include an open-world monster collector, an auto battler and a city builder, as The Block described it in 2022.

  1. Team page. The Illuvium page on NAUT lists Danny Wilson with the title CFO. NAUT's data shows 6 funding rounds for the team, the newest with a date being a $12M Series A on 27 March 2024, which CryptoDiffer and CypherHunter both report.
  2. Person page. Danny Wilson's NAUT record holds a LinkedIn profile. NAUT has no X handle and no Telegram on file for him, so LinkedIn is the direct route, and the team's own X account, @illuviumio, is the public one.
  3. Outside check. A StartupIntros profile names him as Illuvium's chief financial officer, and RootData's Illuvium page is a second source for the title. Illuvium's own site returned HTTP 429 to NAUT's fetch, so its own team list was not read.

A finance lead at a team that raised is the person who signs for treasury, payroll and accounting tools. ChainCatcher reported in May 2023 that Illuvium raised an additional $10M from Framework Ventures, so a web3 CFO there has had new money to manage.

Which crypto CFO records does NAUT hold at funded teams?

The table lists 11 CFO records from NAUT's data, ranked by the number of funding rounds NAUT records for each team, most first, with the channels NAUT has on file for each person. Titles are NAUT's record; only Danny Wilson's was checked outside NAUT for this article. Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.

108 of the 124 have at least 1 of these channels on file, and 16 have none, so for those 16 the team page is the way in.

What a BD lead, founder or investor does with a CFO record

  • BD lead selling finance tools. The chief financial officer buys treasury, payroll, accounting and custody. Start with the 62 teams that have a funding round on NAUT's record, and open the person page to see which channel NAUT holds.
  • Founder raising. A crypto startup CFO at a team that already closed a round is a reference call on how the raise was structured. 31 of the 124 carry both X and LinkedIn, so you can read their posts before you write.
  • Investor sourcing. Before a diligence call, find the CFO record for the team and run step 3. If no outside source names the title, ask the founder who runs finance today.
