The new standard for fundraising data in crypto

Fundraising data in crypto has always been a mess. Duplicate rounds. Missing investors. Inconsistent naming. Outdated information circulating across multiple data providers. And with AI-scraping, the problem just turned messier. 

We decided to fix that.

Over the past year, The Tie built its proprietary fundraising dataset entirely in-house: verifying every company, every investor, and every round. The result is the most comprehensive view of fundraising activity across the crypto ecosystem, now live across The Tie Terminal.

Most crypto fundraising platforms rely on automated scraping or AI-assisted aggregation from press releases, blog posts, and secondary databases. That speed comes at the cost of accuracy.

AI models misclassify entities and fail to reconcile rebrands or token raises under the same company, leading to multiple versions of the same project. Rounds are often duplicated or inferred from vague announcements, and investors appear under inconsistent or incorrect names. Because many providers source from each other, those mistakes multiply and the same bad data circulates across platforms.

The result is inflated totals, missing participants, and distorted market intelligence.

We built our proprietary dataset to remove that noise. Every round in The Tie’s database is standardized by our Research Team and the ones that are fully verified are labelled as “Verified by The Tie”. Each company and investor is represented by a single canonical entity, and every funding event is tied to its participants, round type, and sector. 

Our fundraising data now covers over 5000 companies, 11000 fundraises,  and 7800 investors. Let’s take a look at the Fundraising Trends dashboard that’s accessible to The Tie Terminal users.

Tracks total capital raised and number of deals by month. Users can filter by round type or sector to isolate specific market segments.

Accurately identifies average deal sizes across sectors, enabling precise comparisons of fundraising intensity between verticals.

Every round is verified and linked to the correct entity, so large transactions no longer inflate totals through duplicates or token rebrands. The Tie Terminal users can break down by sector and round type to see where capital is being deployed.

Investor activity is consolidated under canonical entities, correcting for rebrands and aliases. Users can filter by sector or round type to identify firms deploying capital.

Shows where capital is concentrating across the industry.

For example, over the last 30 days:

Every new round is verified and tied to its investor network ensuring the data reflects current market activity.

Together, these views create a connected picture of capital formation from aggregate market behavior down to individual deal participants using verified data. 

Trustworthy fundraising data is foundational to how markets are analyzed. It determines how investors map activity, how analysts measure sector growth, and how companies benchmark themselves. Yet until now, that foundation has been unreliable.

By building the dataset from the ground up, The Tie provides the first verified record of capital formation in crypto - a single source of truth that reflects real activity across the ecosystem.
