Authoritative guides, empirical evaluation matrices, and code forensic checklists used by tier-1 crypto funds to assess early-stage protocols before token launch.
The best Web3 startup discovery platforms depend on whether an investor seeks broad private-market coverage, crypto-native deal flow, or early execution signals.

The critical distinction: Crunchbase and PitchBook tell you who has already raised capital; RootData and CryptoRank map the broader crypto ecosystem; CodeQuity Terminal adds the earlier 'is this team actually shipping and gaining organic traction?' layer.
