How to find crypto startup cofounders: 3 steps, 2 of 5

Crypto startup cofounders are named on the company's own page in NAUT's directory, and 3 steps get you from a company name to a person you can message: open the company page, filter the team rows on the title text, then check each name against the company's own posts. NAUT tracks 5 team rows at Hyperbolic Labs, the AI cloud team that announced a $30,000,000 round on 27 October 2026, and 2 of those 5 rows read Co-Founder: Jasper Zhang, Co-Founder and CEO, and Yuchen Jin, Co-Founder and CTO.

Data note. The team rows, titles, X handles, LinkedIn flags, funding row and backer links here were read from NAUT's own database on 7 November 2026, read-only. The worked team is 1 company, Hyperbolic Labs, so treat the counts as that company's record rather than a market figure. 6 claims about it were put to outside sources on 7 November 2026 and all 6 came back confirmed: the round, the backer line-up, both co-founder titles and both X handles. Those checks cover the 2 co-founder rows; the other 3 team rows were not put to an outside source. NAUT's stored funding row does not carry the lead investor the company's own post names, and that gap is written in below rather than tidied away. NAUT Research wrote it. Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.

How to find crypto startup cofounders, in 3 steps

The fastest way to find a crypto cofounder is to stop searching for the word "founder" across the whole internet and read 1 company's own team list instead.

• Step 1, open the company page. A NAUT company page carries the team as rows, each with a person page behind it. Hyperbolic Labs had 5 such rows on 7 November 2026.
• Step 2, filter on the title text. 2 of those 5 rows carry Co-Founder in the title: Jasper Zhang and Yuchen Jin. A third row, Christian Ondaatje, reads Founding Platform Engineer, which is an early hire rather than a co-founder claim, so the filter leaves it out.
• Step 3, check the name against the company's own words. Hyperbolic's own 27 October 2026 funding post says "Our founder and CEO Jasper Zhang's background in mathematics and quantitative research", and a separate company post on its CTO reads "Dr. Yuchen Jin Co-founder & CTO at Hyperbolic". 2 sources, 2 names, no guessing.

Crypto cofounder titles are free text in NAUT, so the filter is a text match and nothing else. That is why step 3 exists: a title says what was true when the row was written.

Which crypto startup cofounders does NAUT name at Hyperbolic Labs?

All 5 team rows, with their stored titles and the channels NAUT has on file for each. The 2 co-founder rows come first, then the other 3 in NAUT's own row order, which is not a ranking.

Person	Title	Channels
Jasper Zhang	Co-Founder & CEO	X @zjasper, LinkedIn
Yuchen Jin	Co-Founder & CTO	X @Yuchenj_UW, LinkedIn
Joelly Gloria	Head of Marketing	X @joellygloria, LinkedIn
COChristian Ondaatje	Founding Platform Engineer	LinkedIn only
Jeremy Hazan	Head of Operations	X @JeremyHazan1, LinkedIn

4 of the 5 rows carry a crypto founder X handle or a work handle, and 5 of the 5 carry a LinkedIn URL on file, which is what makes the third step cheap: you can read the person's own bio before you write to them. NAUT's data shows no end date on any of the 5 stints, so the record treats all 5 as current.

What did the source check on these crypto startup cofounders find?

Both co-founder rows held. 1 role detail did not, and that is the useful part of the exercise. Every source below was read on 7 November 2026, and the round checked is the $30,000,000 of 27 October 2026.

Claim	Source	Result
$30,000,000 round	Hyperbolic's funding post	Confirmed
Jasper Zhang, Co-Founder	Hyperbolic's funding post	Confirmed
Yuchen Jin, Co-Founder	Hyperbolic's CTO post	Confirmed
Both X handles	Both X profiles	Confirmed

The co-founder fact is permanent and the seat is not. Yuchen Jin's own X profile, as NAUT's check read it on 7 November 2026, lists the Hyperbolic CTO role among his previous roles and names a different current employer, and he posted in March 2026 that he had stepped down from the CTO seat. NAUT's row still reads Co-Founder and CTO with no end date. For a BD lead that is 2 facts to use differently: write to him as a co-founder of the company, and ask Jasper Zhang for anything that needs today's CTO.

Who backed the round, and who do you contact first?

NAUT's funding record for Hyperbolic Labs is 1 row, $30,000,000 dated 27 October 2026, and it links General Catalyst and Vista Equity Partners to that round. The company's own post, read on 7 November 2026, announces a $30,000,000 Series A1 round led by Walden Catalyst and says "The round also included Dell Technologies Capital, General Catalyst, Vista Equity Partners, Cambium Capital, Salience Capital, and other strategic investors". Walden Catalyst, Dell Technologies Capital, Cambium Capital and Salience Capital have no page in NAUT's directory yet, so the lead sits in the company's post rather than in NAUT's backer rows for that round.

For a founder raising, that line-up is the warm path: 2 of the 6 named firms already have a NAUT page with their own team on it. For a BD lead selling into a crypto startup team, the order is the co-founder who still holds an operating seat first, then the function owner, which at this company means Joelly Gloria for anything marketing and Jeremy Hazan for anything operational.
