A Dealroom alternative for crypto startup funding data has to carry crypto deals as a data line of its own, and of the 8 tools NAUT tested on 5 November 2026, 2 showed a per-seat price on their own pricing page. NAUT tracks 106 crypto and Web3 funding rounds at 105 companies announced between 7 September and 2 November 2026, worth $3,951,950,000 in disclosed amounts, with 323 contacts attached to 79 of those rounds and 67 of them at named decision makers.
NAUT published this test and NAUT is one of the tools in it. The 4 criteria were fixed before any page was opened: does the tool name crypto as its own data line, does its public page show a price, is there an entry point that needs no sales call, and does it attach a reachable person to a round. Every rival fact below comes from that rival's own page, fetched on 5 November 2026, and nothing behind a login or a paywall was opened, so a tool whose page did not load is marked "Not tested" rather than scored. NAUT will refetch the same 8 pages on 5 December 2026 and reprice this table.
Which Dealroom alternative covers crypto funding data?
NAUT fetched the public pages of 8 rival tools on 5 November 2026. 3 pages never arrived: crunchbase.com returned a Cloudflare challenge page titled "Attention Required!", cryptorank.io returned a Cloudflare interstitial, and cbinsights.com returned an empty body. Of the 12 claims put back to the pages that did arrive, 9 were located and are printed below, all of them on Dealroom, Tracxn and Preqin, so those 3 rivals carry scored cells. The other 3 claims are left out: 1 Dealroom sector-tag claim the page did not match, and both PitchBook claims, because pitchbook.com/products returned 403 Forbidden on the recheck, so nothing about PitchBook is scored. Affinity's pricing page arrived and its per-seat tiers are printed below, but no other claim was put to it.
| Tool | Crypto line | Price shown | Free entry |
|---|---|---|---|
| NAUT | Yes, the whole database is crypto and Web3: 106 rounds in this window | Free plan at $0, Essential at $49 a month | Free plan, no card, plus a 7-day trial |
| Dealroom | No, crypto is absent from the 5 sectors its homepage names as hot | Premium at 250 EUR per seat per month, Premium Plus at 325 EUR, 3-seat minimum, annual billing | Yes, a 3-day free trial with no card |
| Tracxn | No crypto count among the 6 database figures its pricing page names | None self-serve, Premium is priced through a sales contact | Yes, a free Lite plan with no card |
| Preqin | No crypto product named on its homepage | None shown on the page | Yes, "Create a free account" |
| Affinity | Not tested | Essential at $2,000 a user a year, Scale at $2,300, Advanced at $2,700, Enterprise on request | Not tested |
| PitchBook | Not tested, the page returned 403 Forbidden | Not tested | Not tested |
| Crunchbase | Not tested, a Cloudflare challenge page | Not tested | Not tested |
| CryptoRank | Not tested, a Cloudflare interstitial | Not tested | Not tested |
| CB Insights | Not tested, an empty body | Not tested | Not tested |
Of the 3 tools whose page wording was located and checked, none named crypto as a data line of its own. The 5 sectors Dealroom's homepage names as hot are AI agents, Humanoid robotics, Foundation models, Defense and dual-use and Climate tech, and Preqin's homepage leads on a 5.4tn USD transaction repository rather than any crypto product. Dealroom and Affinity were the 2 of the 8 that printed a seat price on their own page, Dealroom at "€250 per seat / month, €325 per seat / month, Minimum 3 seats, For 20+ seats" and Affinity at "$2,000 USER / YEAR, $2,300 USER / YEAR, $2,700 USER / YEAR". Dealroom's API sits outside those seats, "Priced on call volume, on top of any plan.", so a pipeline costs more than the plan. Dealroom's Premium Plus adds "MCP connection for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, 3,000 business email credits" per seat, which is the closest any tested rival came to shipping contacts with the deal data.
What does a Dealroom alternative need to hold for crypto deal flow?
A funding record is only useful to a deal maker when it ends at a person who answers. These are the 106 rounds NAUT holds for 7 September to 2 November 2026, counted from NAUT's own database on 5 November 2026.
| What NAUT holds on this window | Count |
|---|---|
| Crypto and Web3 rounds | 106 |
| Companies behind them | 105 |
| Rounds with a disclosed amount | 68 |
| Rounds with a lead investor on NAUT's record | 39 |
| Rounds whose company has an X handle on file | 106 |
| Rounds with a company domain on file | 99 |
| Rounds with at least 1 NAUT contact | 79 |
| Rounds with a named decision maker | 51 |
| Rounds with a Telegram contact on file | 66 |
| Contacts across these rounds | 323 |
| Decision-maker contacts across these rounds | 67 |
39 of the 106 rounds carry a lead investor on NAUT's record, so a lead is named on 39 of them and the other 67 carry none. An empty lead or backer field is NAUT's record of that round, never proof that no firm led it.
Which crypto rounds closed, and who led each?
The 10 largest rounds in the window, ranked by disclosed amount, each lead as NAUT's record holds it. Strive appears twice because NAUT holds 2 separate post-IPO rounds for it.
| Amount | Company | Round | Lead on record |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1.0B |  Kalshi |
Series G, 29 Oct 2026 | Wellington Management and Sequoia Capital |
| $630.0M |  Strive |
Post-IPO, 20 Oct 2026 | None on record |
| $400.0M |  Tazapay |
M&A, 8 Sep 2026 | None on record |
| $208.0M | Strive |
Post-IPO, 13 Oct 2026 | None on record |
| $200.0M |  Whop |
Series D, 21 Oct 2026 | Sequoia Capital |
| $129.0M |  HIVE Digital Technologies |
Post-IPO debt, 27 Oct 2026 | None on record |
| $110.0M |  Jeeves |
Series C, 29 Sep 2026 | CoinFund |
| $100.0M |  Circle |
PIPE, 22 Sep 2026 | None on record |
| $100.0M |  Payward |
Strategic, 10 Sep 2026 | None on record |
| $90.0M |  Nous Research |
Series B, 7 Oct 2026 | Robot Ventures |
Contacts NAUT holds on these 10 rounds, decision makers in brackets: Circle 24 (2), Kalshi 10 (1), Nous Research 5, Tazapay 3, Whop 2, HIVE Digital Technologies 1 (1), Jeeves 1 (1), Payward 1, and 0 on both Strive rounds.
Sequoia Capital is the only firm on NAUT's record that leads or co-leads 2 of these 10 rounds, Kalshi, where NAUT's page names Wellington Management alongside it, and Whop. Jeeves carries the longest backer list of the 10 with 11 firms on NAUT's record, and Circle carries the most contacts with 24, of which 2 are decision makers.
One round, Kalshi's $1,000,000,000 Series G on 29 October 2026, is just over a quarter of the $3,951,950,000 disclosed across all 106 rounds in the window.
Is a free Dealroom alternative enough for crypto deal data?
3 of the 8 tools offer a way in with no sales call, and each one stops somewhere different. Dealroom's page describes its trial as a "3-day free trial with full Premium access, 50 export credits and every company profile and funding round. No credit card required.", which is 3 days of everything and then a 3-seat annual contract. Tracxn's pricing page shows a Lite plan with "No credit card required. Pricing available through sales contact" for Premium, so the price of the real tier arrives by email. Preqin offers "Create a free account" and shows no tier price on the page at all.
NAUT's free plan is $0 with no card and opens directory search and public profiles, including each company's name, role, company and X handle. The verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn values are what a paid plan unlocks, and the unlock is permanent per person.
What this tells a BD team
- 79 of the 106 rounds have at least 1 contact on NAUT, so roughly 3 in 4 funded teams in this window are reachable without a cold form fill.
- 66 of the 106 have a Telegram contact on file, which is the channel most crypto teams actually answer.
- 51 rounds reach a named decision maker, and those 51 rounds hold 67 decision-maker contacts between them.
- Start with the biggest contact depth rather than the biggest round: Circle has 24 contacts on a $100,000,000 PIPE, while Strive has 0 across both of its post-IPO rounds.
- Filter to the funded106 crypto rounds closed between 7 September and 2 November 2026, 68 of them with a disclosed amount.
- Pick the reachable79 rounds have at least 1 NAUT contact and 66 have a Telegram on file.
- Go to a decision maker51 rounds reach a named decision maker, 67 contacts in all, like the 2 on Circle.
- Open the company pageEach page lists the team and which channels NAUT has on file, so the first message names the right person.
What this tells a founder raising
- 39 of the 106 rounds name a lead on NAUT's record, so the window gives you 39 firms that have written a lead cheque in crypto in the last 2 months.
- Sequoia Capital is on the lead line of 2 of the 10 largest, Kalshi at $1,000,000,000, co-led with Wellington Management, and Whop at $200,000,000, which tells you the size band it is writing into.
- CoinFund led Jeeves at $110,000,000 with 11 backers on NAUT's record alongside it, so a Series C syndicate of that shape is live.
- Robot Ventures led Nous Research at $90,000,000 with 7 backers on record, a Series B comparable to price your own round against.
How to reach the decision makers
Each company above links to its NAUT page, and each page lists the team with the channels NAUT holds on file for each person. The 51 rounds with a named decision maker hold 67 decision-maker contacts, and 66 of the 106 rounds carry a Telegram contact, so the usual path is company page, then the person, then the channel their page says NAUT has. Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.

Can you pull this data through the NAUT API?
Yes. NAUT's data shows these rounds and their teams, and 1 call per company returns them: GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects/kalshi with an Authorization: Bearer $NAUT_KEY header gives Kalshi's record and its team, while GET https://api.naut.so/v1/people?q=business%20development returns people by title. A data call costs 5 credits and the first reveal of a person's private channels costs 10, a permanent unlock, with plans from Essential at $49 a month for 3,000 credits: parameters at naut.so/docs/api and tiers at naut.so/pricing. Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn unlock on any paid NAUT plan, so start a 7-day trial to open them.
Dealroom alternative FAQ
What is the best Dealroom alternative for crypto startup funding data?
Of the 8 tools NAUT tested on 5 November 2026, NAUT is the only one whose whole database is crypto and Web3, holding 106 rounds at 105 companies for 7 September to 2 November 2026 with 323 contacts on 79 of them. Of the 3 rivals whose page wording was located and checked, Dealroom, Tracxn and Preqin, none named crypto as a data line of its own. Dealroom and Affinity were the only 2 of the 8 that printed a seat price on their own page. Affinity's page gave that price and nothing else was put to it, and the other 4 are marked not tested.
What does Dealroom cost?
Dealroom's pricing page, read on 5 November 2026, shows Premium at 250 EUR per seat per month and Premium Plus at 325 EUR per seat per month, both billed annually with a minimum of 3 seats, plus a custom Enterprise tier for 20 or more seats. Its API is a separate add-on, "Priced on call volume, on top of any plan.", so it is not included in either seat price.
Is there a free Dealroom alternative for crypto deal data?
3 of the 8 tools NAUT tested offer an entry with no sales call: Dealroom's 3-day free trial with no card, Tracxn's free Lite plan, and Preqin's free account. NAUT's free plan is $0 with no card and opens directory search and public profiles for the 105 companies in this window, with verified contact channels reserved for paid plans.
Where can I find the teams behind these 106 crypto rounds and their contact channels?
On NAUT. The 106 rounds announced between 7 September and 2 November 2026 sit on the company pages linked above, 79 of them carry at least 1 contact, 51 reach a named decision maker and 66 carry a Telegram, and the same records come back from GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects/kalshi at 5 credits a call. Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn unlock on any paid NAUT plan, so start a 7-day trial to see them.
How many of the 8 tools could NAUT actually score?
3 rivals carry scored cells, Dealroom, Tracxn and Preqin, because 9 of the 12 claims NAUT put to the rival pages on 5 November 2026 were located and confirmed, all 9 on those 3. Affinity's pricing page gave its per-seat tiers and nothing else was put to it, pitchbook.com/products returned 403 Forbidden on the recheck, and Crunchbase, CryptoRank and CB Insights returned a challenge page, an interstitial and an empty body.
