dvcrn Web3 Target Team Research
Find well-funded crypto teams ($10M+) with verified Telegram contacts for outreach.
Quick Start
Hunt for crypto teams from [SOURCE]
Example sources: Paradigm portfolio, recent funding news, Solana ecosystem, DeFi protocols
How It Works
- Spawn hunters - Parallel subagents search different VC portfolios/sources
- Find teams - Filter for $10M+ funding, check if already tracked
- Verify TG - Screenshot t.me/{handle}, require pfp OR bio with company affiliation
- Add to CSV - Append verified contacts to master CSV

Hunter Task Template
See references/hunter-task.md for the full subagent task template.
Auto-Hunting Setup
To run hunters continuously:
- Create a cron job that checks hunter count every 10 minutes
- Add to HEARTBEAT.md to auto-respawn if < 3 hunters active
See references/auto-hunt-setup.md for cron configuration.
Best Sources (by success rate)
High yield (~40%+ TG conversion):
- Consumer/DeFi protocols (Paradigm, Dragonfly, Framework)
- Bridge/interop projects
- Security/auditing firms
Medium yield (~20-30%):
- Gaming/NFT (Animoca, Immutable)
- L2s and infrastructure
- Asia-focused VCs (Hashed, OKX Ventures)
Low yield (<20%):
- Enterprise/institutional (Point72, Tiger Global)
- Oracles and data providers
- Social/community platforms
Tips
- Always
grep -i "TeamName"both CSVs before adding - Team members often have different X vs TG handles
- Founders have lower TG presence than BD/marketing roles
- Recent funding announcements = fresher, more findable contacts
