Find crypto founder LinkedIn pages in 3 steps: open the company's own site, open the company's People tab on NAUT, then search the founder's full name together with the company name and the word linkedin. NAUT tracks 6,844 live project pages and holds a LinkedIn URL against 3,815 of the 5,601 rows in its database whose job title says founder or CEO, read on 2 November 2026.
Data note. Every count here was read from NAUT's own database on 2 November 2026, read-only. A founder or CEO row is a live person row whose stored job title contains founder or CEO, so a co-founder who now carries another title is outside that count. The worked company is 375ai, a live NAUT project row, and the worked person is its co-founder and chief executive Harry Dewhirst. The company's own team page at 375.ai/team lists him as Cofounder & CEO, which matches the title NAUT holds. NAUT Research wrote it. Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.
How do you find crypto founder LinkedIn pages in 3 steps?
Run the 3 steps in order and stop at the first one that gives you a profile you can name. Each step costs more time than the one above it, and each covers a different slice of the 6,844 live project pages NAUT tracks.
| Step | Where | Returns | Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The company's own site, usually /team or /about |
The current title and often a link out to each profile | A domain on file, which NAUT holds for 4,654 of 6,844 live projects |
| 2 | The company's People tab on its NAUT page | Every person NAUT names, each with a title and the channels on file | A NAUT page, and 3,413 of those 6,844 projects name at least 1 person |
| 3 | A search engine, the full name plus the company name plus linkedin | The founder's own profile, when the title and company match the page | The founder's full name, which step 1 or step 2 gives you |
- Read the company siteNAUT holds a domain for 4,654 of its 6,844 live project pages, so step 1 is open at most of them.
- Open the People tabNAUT names at least 1 person at 3,413 of those 6,844 projects, and all 7 people on the 375ai row carry a LinkedIn URL.
- Search name plus companyHarry Dewhirst is Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of 375ai, and those 2 terms are what a profile page carries.
Step 1: read the company's own site
The company's own team page is the one source that controls its own titles, so it is the first place to look and the place a stale title is cheapest to catch. NAUT holds a domain for 4,654 of its 6,844 live project pages, which is where that step starts.
2 things can end step 1 early. A site can carry no team page at all, which is common for a project that is 6 months old. A site can also name a founder with a first name and a role and no profile link, which gives you the name for step 3 and nothing more.
Step 2: open the company's People tab on NAUT
A NAUT project page lists the people NAUT holds for that company, each with the job title on file and the channels NAUT has against that person. On 2 November 2026 NAUT named at least 1 person at 3,413 of its 6,844 live project pages, and 2,249 of those projects carried at least 1 founder or CEO row with a LinkedIn URL on file.
This is the step that turns a name into a crypto founder contact, because the channel list sits on the same page as the title. Each person page says which channels NAUT has on file for that person, and the verified values unlock on a paid plan.
Step 3: search the full name plus the company name
With a full name and a company name, a plain search engine query of both terms plus the word linkedin surfaces the profile, because a profile page carries the person's name and the company name in its own text. This step is worth the 30 seconds when steps 1 and 2 give you a name and no profile.
2 failure modes are worth knowing before you trust the result. A common name returns several people, and the title on the result is what separates them. A founder who has left returns a profile whose current company is somewhere else, which is the answer to a different question than the one you asked.
What did the 3 steps return for 375ai's CEO?
Step 2 returned the channels for 375ai. NAUT holds 7 people against that company on 2 November 2026, all 7 of them carry a LinkedIn URL on file, and 4 of the 7 have their own NAUT people page. Harry Dewhirst is 1 of those 4, with the job title Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer on NAUT's record, which is the exact pair of terms step 3 needs.
Step 1 settled it too. NAUT holds https://www.375.ai/ as the company's domain, and the team page at 375.ai/team lists Harry Dewhirst as Cofounder & CEO, the same seat NAUT's record carries. Step 3 then works from a name and title that 2 independent sources agree on.
Can NAUT find crypto founder LinkedIn profiles at scale?
For 1 founder the 3 steps take a few minutes. For a target list of 50 companies the step that scales is step 2, because the title and the channel list come from 1 place. NAUT's data shows 3,815 of its 5,601 founder and CEO rows carry a LinkedIn URL, and 7,436 of the 11,636 people with their own NAUT page carry one.
LinkedIn is 1 of 3 channels NAUT holds against those rows. Ranked by the number of founder and CEO rows that carry each channel on 2 November 2026, X leads.
| Channel | Rows with it | Rows without |
|---|---|---|
| X | 3,983 | 1,618 |
| 3,815 | 1,786 | |
| Telegram | 2,718 | 2,883 |
Those 3 counts come out of the same 5,601 founder and CEO rows, so a single person can appear in all 3. A row with no LinkedIn URL on NAUT means NAUT holds none for that person, and step 1 or step 3 is how you fill it.
What this tells a crypto BD team
For a web3 business development desk the point of a crypto founders list is the order you work it, and these 4 numbers set that order.
- Sort the target list before you search. 2,249 of 6,844 live projects already carry a founder or CEO with a LinkedIn URL, so those are the accounts where the search is a page load.
- Spend the manual time on the other accounts. 3,431 of the 6,844 live projects name nobody yet on NAUT, and those are the ones where step 1 and step 3 earn their keep.
- Take the title with the name. A title is what makes a search result identifiable and what makes a first message land, and the People tab gives both at once.
- Check the seat before you write. A profile that names a different current company answers a different question, and the company's own site is the cheapest place to catch that.

Get the founder's full name and current title first, from the company's own team page or from the company's People tab on NAUT, then search that name with the company name and the word linkedin. NAUT held a LinkedIn URL against 3,815 of its 5,601 founder and CEO rows on 2 November 2026, so for many founders the directory step ends the search.

3,815 of the 5,601 live rows whose job title says founder or CEO, read on 2 November 2026. Across all people with their own NAUT page the figure is 7,436 of 11,636, and the same rows carry 3,983 X handles and 2,718 Telegram handles at the founder and CEO level.
Is a stored LinkedIn URL enough to start outreach?
It is enough to identify the person and not enough to know the title is current. Read the profile's current company against the title NAUT holds, which for Harry Dewhirst is Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of 375ai, and treat a disagreement between the 2 as the thing to check before you send.
