We are back

Hey everyone. We've been working hard on v2 of our platform over the past two months. We'll share more about our product updates later in this newsletter.

Starting in early September, we'll be resuming our weekly deal digest. We’re splitting it into two separate newsletters: one dedicated to Web3 and the other to AI.

You’re currently on the Web3 list. If you'd like to switch or to be added to the AI list or if you have any feedback, ideas, or questions about Veck, feel free to reach out to me on Telegram @yneehs or via email at [email protected].

v2 of the platform

Just a reminder:

Veck is a data-mining tool that helps you discover promising venture deals and founders with interest from top-tier investors. We analyze social interactions of over 4,000 investors on LinkedIn, Twitter, Product Hunt, and Warpcast, with new investors added daily.

Our v2 is launching in early September, and we've made several user-requested improvements:

• Added Warpcast to our algorithm, alongside LinkedIn, Twitter, and Product Hunt.

• Personalized feeds: Choose which investors or categories you want to follow and set up your own feed.

• More deals displayed per page.

• Ability to delete companies you’re not interested in, so they don’t show up again.

• In-app search functionality.

• Date filters.

• Filters by the number of interested VCs.

Personal lists

One of the most requested features was the ability to create your own private investor list to follow. We’ve just added this option in v1 of the platform, and we’re currently testing it.

Every investor has their own network of people generating valuable insights. You can now track their activities on LinkedIn, Twitter, Product Hunt, and Warpcast. Add them manually one by one or import a list via .csv. Just provide a Twitter, LinkedIn, or Product Hunt profile, and we’ll fill in the rest.

Our algorithm will filter their activity and provide you with signals on the founders and projects they’re engaging with. These signals will remain private, visible only to you.

If you'd like to test this new feature and help us improve it, feel free to reach out to me on Telegram @yneehs or via email at [email protected].

We're spotting nearly every publicly announced Web3 deal on Veck at least two months in advance.

Recent examples include:

1. ZK Exchange Vessel raised $10M from Sequoia, Scroll founders, and others. The deal was announced on August 9th, but we first detected it in early May 2024.

2. Khalani Network announced a $2.5M round led by Ethereal Ventures. We've been tracking active investor interactions since March 2024.

3. Curio.gg, a Web3 gaming studio, raised $5.7M led by Bain Capital Crypto and SevenX. We saw signals and increasing activity since May.

4. Rome Protocol, the Solana shared sequencer, raised $9M led by Hack VC. Signals started appearing in early April.

5. Founders Fund led an $85M round in Sentient. We first noticed interactions with Multicoin and Binance Labs in February, with more activity following.

6. Prodia caught our attention with growing interest from investors in early February. The round, led by Dragonfly, was announced in early July.

Have a great week!
