Just a few days ago, we successfully invested in crosscurve.fi, and now we are working on deals with U2U Network and Bracket, which is building a platform for Staked Liquid DeFi.

Now, let’s try to do something similar—but with older crypto projects!

By considering the market as a system of interconnected forces, we can identify patterns and make data-driven assumptions about the future—even without insider information.

Over the past two years, many promising projects have emerged in crypto. Most have already raised VC funding and launched their own tokens, which are now actively trading on exchanges. Since many founders tend to overestimate their new projects, and given that many older, fundamentally strong projects have tokens trading at all-time lows, we started wondering:

🧐 Can we identify promising “old” projects, buy their tokens on exchanges, and generate 5-10x returns within a few months?

To test this, we compiled a Google Sheet, filtering for projects launched in the past 2-3 years and tracking the following:

✅ VC price (the price at which VCs invested)
✅ Start price (the token’s price at launch)
✅ Current price (the token’s price now)
✅ Retail vs. VC ROI
✅ Project industry/category
✅ Venture funds involved (and their tier ranking)
✅ Exchanges where the token is listed
✅ Social media engagement & project development activity (e.g., GitHub updates)
✅ VC fund holdings (via Arkham, Messari, or manual research)

This isn’t a ready-made investment list—it’s a data-driven research tool to help make informed investment decisions based on personal strategies.

Finding Hidden Market Logic

Beyond just numbers, this method allows us to uncover the logic behind market movements.

For example:

🔍 Which VC funds have historically worked with “money makers” to pump tokens?
-If their vesting period is ending, they might attempt a final pump before exiting.

📈 Which projects are approaching a major exchange listing (e.g., Binance)?
-Some funds specialize in securing high-value exchange listings for their projects.
-If a fund has helped several projects get listed, we can analyze other projects they backed that haven’t been listed yet but could be next.

📊 What’s happening on social media & GitHub?
-If a project suddenly shows renewed activity, it might indicate an upcoming catalyst.

💡 The Key Idea:
To make this table valuable, we need to identify data points that the market hasn’t yet priced in.
By modeling future catalysts, we can buy strong tokens at rock-bottom prices before they pump.

Why Now?

With the entire market cooling down, many tokens are at their lowest valuations. Historically, these are the best entry points for high-upside plays.

By systematically analyzing older projects alongside new investments, we can maximize returns while minimizing speculative risks.
