Head of growth crypto, in short: to find the head of growth at a crypto project, search NAUT by the title, open the company's page, then check the person's own X bio before you write. NAUT tracks 167 contacts titled head of growth, growth lead or growth manager at 157 crypto project companies on 12 November 2026, and 128 of them carry an X handle.
Data note. Every count was read from NAUT's own database on 12 November 2026, read-only. A contact is counted when their title contains head of growth, growth lead, VP growth or growth manager and they sit at a project company: 157 of the 6,974 project companies NAUT holds. No record carried a VP growth title, so the 167 split into 144 head of growth titles, 16 growth lead titles and 7 growth manager titles. 6 of the 167 had their title checked against the person's own X bio on 12 November 2026. The other 161 were not put through that check.
Head of growth crypto: how do you find one in 5 steps?
Start from the title, then work down to 1 team, 1 person and 1 channel.
- Search by title. A crypto growth lead can sit under 28 different title strings on NAUT, from Head of Growth (133 records) to Ecosystem Growth Lead (5) and Head of Growth and BD.
- Open the company page. 160 of the 167 records sit at a company with a NAUT page. 7 sit at a company with no public page yet.
- Check the seat. 1 record's own title reads Former Growth Lead, and the 6 bios checked all differed from NAUT's title (details below).
- Pick the channel. 128 records carry an X handle, 117 a LinkedIn URL, 109 a Telegram handle and 9 an email.
- Send 1 note to 1 person. 8 teams hold more than 1 growth record, so pick 1 name per team.

Why check a head of growth title before you write?
Because a directory title records the day it was read, and people change seats. 6 of the 167 records, the first 6 with an X handle in company-name order, were checked against the person's own X bio on 12 November 2026. None of the 6 matched NAUT's title:
- 4 bios name a different company or describe the growth role as a past one.
- 2 bios still name the same company, under another title (a plain growth title, and an ecosystem title).
- 1 more record, outside the 6, carries Former Growth Lead as its own stored title.
6 rows is a small sample and says nothing firm about the other 161, so treat it as a warning sign. The useful habit is cheap: open the bio, read the company it names, and only then write. If the bio names a new company, the NAUT page for that company is the next place to look.
Which crypto teams list more than 1 head of growth?
8 of the 157 teams hold 2 or 3 growth records on NAUT, ranked here by record count. These are the teams where picking the wrong name is easiest.
| Company | Records | With X | With page |
|---|---|---|---|
 TAC |
3 | 3 | 1 |
 Variational |
3 | 2 | 3 |
 Allora Network |
2 | 1 | 2 |
 Bedrock |
2 | 1 | 2 |
 Dash |
2 | 1 | 1 |
 Hemi |
2 | 1 | 2 |
 Pendle |
2 | 2 | 1 |
 Tempo |
2 | 2 | 2 |
2 rows need care. Bedrock's 2 records carry the same person's name, so they look like 1 person stored twice. 1 of the 2 Allora Network records was in the 6-row bio check, and that bio did not name Allora. At TAC, 1 of the 3 titles reads New Growth Manager.
