Crypto outreach cadence: 14 days, 15 leads, 8 founder pages

By NAUT Research · · 9 min read

15 Crypto outreach cadence crypto teams funded in the 3 weeks to 7 November 2026, run through a 14-day cadence. Logos: Hyperbolic Labs, Luxor, Mural, LO:TECH, Dataline, 0xPredicate, Cancore, HoneyB, Bloquo, CRSHMARKET, hylo_so, Trade xyz, StableStock, Lighthouse.Storage, CRYMBO.

NAUT tracks 15 crypto teams that announced a primary funding round in the 3 weeks to 7 November 2026, and 8 of them carry at least 1 founder or executive page on NAUT to open a conversation with. A 14-day crypto outreach cadence, with touches on day 1, day 3, day 7 and day 14, covers that whole batch: the median team in it was 11 days past its announcement when NAUT's data was read on 7 November 2026.

That 11-day median is the number a BD lead should plan around. A round announced today is a lead you will reach on day 3 at the earliest, because the founder is still answering congratulation notes, and a lead you have lost to the queue by day 30.

Data note

  • Read from NAUT's Investment table on 7 November 2026. Scope: primary funding rounds announced from 19 October to 4 November 2026, 15 rounds at 15 companies.
  • 11 of the 15 rounds carry a disclosed amount on NAUT, totalling $112M. The other 4 are on record with no amount, so they are printed as "not disclosed" and left out of the chart.
  • All 15 rounds were put to public sources on 7 November 2026. 13 came back confirmed with a quote the check matched on the page or with a second source naming the round. For Trade xyz and Lighthouse.Storage the check could not match its quote on the page it fetched, so those 2 rows print from NAUT's record alone.
  • Every investor count below is NAUT's own record of who backed the round, never a count of the world. A round with no backer on NAUT may still have had one named elsewhere.
  • Written by NAUT Research. Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.

What is a crypto outreach cadence, and how long should it run?

A crypto outreach cadence is the fixed schedule of touches you send a lead after a trigger event, with the channel and the message set per touch before you start. The trigger here is a funding announcement, which is the cleanest one in crypto: it is dated, it is public, and it tells you the team has budget it did not have last month.

14 days is the length this batch supports. The 15 teams were between 3 and 19 days past their announcement on 7 November 2026, and 10 of the 15 sat inside 11 days, so a cadence that closes at day 14 reaches a funded team while the round is still the thing they are talking about. Run it longer and you are sending touch 5 to a team whose inbox has already closed on the subject.

Which teams go into this crypto outreach cadence, and who led each round?

15 teams, ranked by days since their round was announced, freshest first. Round carries the round type and the amount on NAUT's record, Days is days since the announcement as at 7 November 2026, and Open with is the person NAUT lists with a page of their own.

NAUT's data shows a lead flag on 8 of the 15 rounds, held by 10 firms. The lead is the name to put in the opening line, because it is the fact the founder knows is public. Lead investor is the firm NAUT's record flags as lead, and Other backers counts the round's remaining investors on NAUT.

The other 7 rounds carry no lead flag on NAUT, so the sources are the place to go for the lead. The company blog post behind Hyperbolic Labs' $30M round names Walden Catalyst as its lead, and the coverage of Bloquo's $3.7M seed names Crescera Capital and Triaxis Capital as co-leads. Neither firm has a row in this pull, so neither has a NAUT page to link here. CRYMBO's strategic round is recorded against Orbs, and StableStock's round comes with a $75M valuation from its source rather than a round size. Trade xyz is the single round in this batch with no investor on NAUT's record at all.

How much did each team raise?

Disclosed raise per round, the 11 of 15 with an amount on NAUT
  1. Hyperbolic Labs$30M
  2. Luxor$16M
  3. Mural$15M
  4. LO:TECH$12M
  5. Dataline$10.6M
  6. 0xPredicate$8M
  7. Cancore$7.2M
  8. HoneyB$5M
  9. Bloquo$3.7M
  10. CRSHMARKET$3.5M
  11. hylo_so$1M

$112M across 11 rounds, from $1M at hylo_so to $30M at Hyperbolic Labs. Trade xyz, StableStock, Lighthouse.Storage and CRYMBO are the 4 with no amount on NAUT's record, which is a reason to open with the product rather than the cheque.

How does the 14-day crypto outreach cadence run, day by day?

4 touches, each with its own job, built for newly funded crypto teams rather than for a cold list. The day count runs from the day the lead enters your list, not from the announcement date, so a team already 18 days past its round starts at day 1 the same as a team at day 3.

Day Touch Channel Who it goes to
1 Congratulate the round, name the lead investor, 1 line on what you do The channel on the person's NAUT page The 8 teams with a founder page
3 A product line tied to what their own description says they build Same channel, same thread The same 8 teams, plus the 4 teams whose founder you found by then
7 1 question that needs a 1-word answer, no attachment Second channel on the page Anyone who has not replied
14 A close: name a date, or ask to be filed for next quarter The original channel Anyone still open
How a BD team works this 14-day cadence
  1. Day 1, the 8 with a pageOpen the 8 teams NAUT lists a founder page for, from Jasper Zhang at Hyperbolic Labs to Plish at hylo_so.
  2. Day 3, find the missing 4Luxor, HoneyB, Mural and Lighthouse.Storage name 5 founders between them on their company pages with no person page yet.
  3. Day 7, work the 3 blanksTrade xyz, LO:TECH and CRYMBO have nobody named on NAUT, so the route in is the company X account.
  4. Day 14, close or fileAsk the 4 teams with no disclosed amount for their roadmap, and the 11 with $112M on record for a date.

Who do you contact at each team, and what is the lookup cost?

8 of the 15 teams are ready to work on day 1. NAUT lists 14 people with a page of their own across those 8 teams, every one of them a founder, a CEO, a COO or a CTO:

Send 1 note per team, not 1 per name. A team that lists 3 founders still gives you a single shot, because the same message landing with all 3 of them is visible to all 3.

The other 7 teams cost you lookup time before the cadence starts. 4 of them (Luxor, HoneyB, Mural and Lighthouse.Storage) name 5 founders between them on their company pages without a person page of their own, so the name is there and the channel is not. The remaining 3 (Trade xyz, LO:TECH and CRYMBO) have nobody named on NAUT yet, which makes the company X account the first door and a reply from it the signal to start day 1.

What this crypto outreach cadence tells a founder raising

  • The 8 rounds with a lead flag on NAUT are the warm-intro map. If you are raising into the same sector, the firm that just led is the firm with a live thesis and no spare slot, so ask the portfolio company for the introduction rather than the fund.
  • 4 of the 15 rounds closed with no amount on record. A strategic round with no number is still a budget line, and it is the easiest kind of team to reach, because nobody is calling them about a figure they did not publish.
  • 3 weeks of announcements produced 15 leads. That is the real size of a weekly crypto lead follow-up list in this market, so a crypto BD cadence built for 200 contacts a week is built for a market that does not exist here.

Can you pull this data through the NAUT API?

Yes. A call like GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects/hyperbolic-labs returns 1 company with its team, which is how the founder names above come back for each of the 15 slugs, and GET https://api.naut.so/v1/people/{id}?include=private reveals a person's email, telegram and LinkedIn. Each data call costs 5 credits, and the first private unlock on a person costs 10 credits and is permanent, so a 15-team cadence list is a small spend against the 3,000 credits on the Essential plan; the parameters are in the API docs and the plans are on NAUT pricing. Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn unlock on any paid NAUT plan, so start a 7-day trial before you run the cadence.

Crypto outreach cadence FAQ

How often should you follow up with a crypto lead?

4 times over 14 days: day 1, day 3, day 7 and day 14, then stop and file the lead. On the 15 crypto teams NAUT recorded a round for between 19 October and 4 November 2026, the median team was 11 days past its announcement, so a cadence that ends at day 14 still lands while the round is current news.

What does a 14-day crypto outreach cadence look like in practice?

Day 1 congratulates the round and names the lead investor, day 3 ties your product to what the team's own description says it builds, day 7 asks 1 question with a 1-word answer on a second channel, and day 14 either books a date or asks to be filed for next quarter. Across the 15 teams here, 8 can start at day 1 and 7 need a name or a channel found first.

Which crypto teams raised in the 3 weeks to 7 November 2026?

Hyperbolic Labs at $30M, Luxor at $16M, Mural at $15M, LO:TECH at $12M, Dataline at $10.6M, 0xPredicate at $8M, Cancore at $7.2M, HoneyB at $5M, Bloquo at $3.7M, CRSHMARKET at $3.5M and hylo_so at $1M, for $112M disclosed, plus Trade xyz, StableStock, Lighthouse.Storage and CRYMBO with no amount on NAUT's record.

Where can I find these founders and their contact channels on NAUT?

On the 14 person pages NAUT lists across the 8 teams with a founder page, each of which says which channels NAUT holds, and through GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects/{slug} for the team of any of the 15 companies. Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn unlock on any paid NAUT plan, so start a 7-day trial to open them.

How many of these 15 teams have nobody to contact on NAUT yet?

3 of the 15: Trade xyz, LO:TECH and CRYMBO carry no person page and no founder name on their NAUT company page as of 7 November 2026. A further 4 teams name 5 founders between them with no person page yet, which leaves 8 teams ready for a day 1 touch.
