Our main goal is to simplify the industry for the mass market by combining AI technology with expert knowledge. Coinweb.com will become the go-to advisor for new and existing products.

Our Head of Growth, Shyla Khan, previously served as comms lead for the leading blockchain protocol Polkadot.
My co-founder, Sam Farao, has 20+ years of experience in SEO and has exited two similar companies to Coinweb.com.
I also co-founded a project called Presail (a VC management platform) and have personally invested in 130+ Web3 startups, which have given me an in-depth understanding of blockchains’ evolving landscape.

After six months, we’re already reaching a global audience with 50,000 unique monthly visitors. We recently launched our US and Scandinavian sites and will be scaling to Asian countries. We’re growing 33% every month, putting us on track to reach 3 million monthly visitors in the next two years.
As we continue to grow our team, scale our content creation, form strategic partnerships, and continuously improve the experience for our readers, we’re confident in carving out our space in this $51B market.
5. Who have you partnered with in the crypto space so far?
Amongst our 200+ partners are some of the biggest names in crypto, including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Crypto.com, Stake, and Ledger.
6. Can you provide an overview of Coinweb.com's future plans and strategic initiatives?
We have an ambitious roadmap for the next 12 months. Currently raising a seed round that we’ll invest in developing our AI-powered search engine, scaling our content efforts, and launching additional regional sites.
Our goal with incorporating AI is to provide our expert-verified answers in seconds and offer a virtual advisor to guide newcomers to the space. We won’t be moving to mass-produced AI content; quality is our top priority, but rather, we will help readers find what they need in our knowledge base.
We also plan to launch Coinweb Pro as a long-term project that will offer premium tools, analytics, insights, and community access.
Crypto is a community-driven space, so we’re looking to prioritize that as we grow, getting involved in more events and providing as much value as we can to our audience and partners.
