🧭 Why Compass Exists

Crypto runs on who you know. Compass exists to make "who you know" something anyone can reach.

The problem

The right introduction still moves everything in crypto. A warm telegram from the right person opens a round, closes a deal, lands a partnership. The problem is reach. The people you need are hard to find and harder to contact.

• Founders go by pseudonyms. There is no LinkedIn, no company directory, sometimes no real name.
• The best channel is usually a telegram handle that appears on no website.
• General sales databases were built for traditional companies with complete LinkedIn org charts. They thin out the moment you reach a crypto-native or anonymous team.

So people fall back on cold Twitter DMs, gatekept group chats, and asking around. It is slow, and most messages go nowhere.

What Compass is

Compass is the contact rolodex for crypto. It gives you verified telegram, email, X, and LinkedIn details for the people building Web3, including the pseudonymous teams other databases miss. Today that is 5,200+ contacts across 2,600+ companies, and growing.

Compass is built people-first. Projects, funds, and sectors are how we organize people. The point is always the person you are trying to reach.

Why connections are the heart of it

A phone number is not the hard part. Knowing who the person is, and finding a real reason they should reply, is the hard part. Compass is built around verifiable connections, not just contact strings:

• Every person carries a career timeline: where they have worked, in what role, over time.
• The Network graph links people, projects, investors, and influencers, so you can see how anyone connects to anyone.
• Every profile shows a warm path: who in the graph can introduce you to this person.

That is the difference. Compass does not just tell you a contact exists. It shows you who they are, where they have been, and the shortest warm route to reaching them.

What Compass is not

To keep the lines clear, Compass hands these jobs to the tools built for them:

• Not a market data tool. For prices, TVL, and on-chain analytics, use a dedicated market data platform.
• Not a research service. For deep protocol reports, use a dedicated research provider.
• Not a wallet tracker. For following money on-chain, use a dedicated explorer.

Compass is the rolodex and the map of how people connect. Once you know who to reach and how, the rest is your move.

The feeling we are after

You open Compass and, within a minute, you can say: I know who I need, I know how I am connected to them, and I know how to reach them. I know where I am, and I know where to go next.
