We are looking for a driven and curious Research Specialist to lead our efforts in scouting and qualifying Web2 startups with strong creative and technical DNA for potential onboarding into Seedify’s ecosystem. This role is ideal for someone with strong research instincts, a pulse on developer subcultures, and the ability to think laterally about emerging movements like Vibe Coding, AI x creativity, builder culture, and more. You’ll operate under clear KPIs and work closely with our Reachout and Onboarding teams to ensure a continuous pipeline of qualified prospects. Key Responsibilities: Analyze research reports, whitepapers, and market data to extract meaningful insights. Conduct ongoing research across platforms like Product Hunt, GitHub, Twitter, Discord, indie dev forums, and hackathon sites to identify promising Web2 projects and founders. Maintain a steady weekly pipeline of qualified Web2 startup leads based on quality and narrative fit (e.g., vibe coding, indie hacking, AI tooling, onchain UX, etc.). Track early user traction, team quality, design/development philosophy, and alignment with Web3 opportunities.
