Team, Funding, Partners

Funding

  • Had investment from bankrupt Alameda Research/FTX. This could mean fall-out risk. Turned out (8-12-2022) to be $1.5M worth of equity, in two rounds. Got mentioned as one of the creditors of FTX (26-1-2023).
  • Messari has won a $12.5 million grant issued by The Graph Foundation. Messari is a cryptocurrency intelligence platform, and it has said it will use the issued grant to expand its resources and support the firm in its mission of achieving open data.

"Point72 Ventures, the early-stage investment firm founded by hedge fund billionaire Steven Cohen, has led a $21M funding round in Messari. It is Point72’s first foray into crypto. A raft of big names joined Point72 in the round, including existing backers Coinbase Ventures and Uncork Capital, plus new investors Alameda Capital, Kraken Ventures, and Blockchain Ventures, among others."

"Data provider Messari has closed a $4 million funding round led by Uncork Capital with new participation from Coinbase Ventures and former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan, according to a statement from the New York-based firm. As part of the deal, Uncork’s founder Jeff Clavier was named to Messari’s board of directors."

Partners

  • From Messari's 2022 end of the year report:

"Messari partnered with The Graph as the first-ever Core Subgraph Developer team. Since we’ve got to work in this role, our team has deployed 7% of the actively deployed subgraphs on the decentralized network, which account for 5% of all query fees in the month of December.)"
