Looking for info on Nostr ecosystem investors & project valuations

Hey Nostr community, I am advising a founder who is developing a new Nostr-based social platform, and we are currently researching early-stage investors and valuation benchmarks across the ecosystem.

So far, I’ve found that Primal raised a $1m seed round, but there is little else in the public domain regarding funding rounds, investors or valuation ranges for other projects.

I’d love to know: Which other Nostr projects have raised pre-seed, seed or Series A funding? Who invested? Are there any known VCs, angels or DAOs? Is there any public information on round sizes or valuations?

I’ve already gathered some information and will happily share everything I’ve compiled once I've organised it — it could be helpful to others too.

Any input is greatly appreciated. Even small hints or links would be a great help. Thanks in advance!

Only one that comes to mind may be OpenVibe, they went through Wolf and I think had other backing before or after. IIRC their niche is more about data for a bunch of open social networks protocols, not nostr specifically.

Anything else I'm aware of is a Lightning company or other service that incidentally uses Nostr. There's nothing valuable about Nostr in and of itself.

One of my Nostr projects did bring in a specific angel into an overall round, but that's one persons particular interest in that particular project that I use in other (Lightning) projects.

General advice would be to forget comps, not only Nostr is too niche for comps but even if it wasn't much of what you see in funding announcements comes with serious asterisks, every deal is personal. If the platform gets any traction the funding will sort itself out.
