Intro

In Web3, some of the most important deals happen not with retail users but with institutions — hedge funds, investment firms, and liquidity providers.

But here’s the challenge: these decision-makers are notoriously difficult to reach. They’re not hanging out in public Telegram groups, and scraping random lists won’t get you very far.

Stader Labs, a liquid staking provider, came to Spredo with this exact problem:

They needed to connect with crypto hedge funds to expand partnerships.
They needed highly targeted contacts, not just volume.
And they needed outreach that could scale on Telegram, where the conversations actually happen.

Here’s how Spredo helped.

The Challenge

Web3 business developer struggling to scrape Telegram contacts, hitting a wall labeled ‘unreachable investors,’ representing the difficulty of reaching hedge funds manually.

Stader Labs faced the classic institutional outreach bottlenecks:

❌ No reliable way to identify hedge fund decision-makers on Telegram.
❌ Manual scraping of groups = inaccurate, incomplete data.
❌ Outreach at risk of low reply rates and wasted effort.

They needed a way to go beyond the obvious, and discover institutional profiles that other tools miss.

The Solution: Spredo’s Data + Outreach Engine

Spredo’s unique data collection algorithm combines on-chain, off-chain, and professional signals.

For Stader Labs, this meant:

LinkedIn Sales Navigator integration → identified hedge fund execs (by role/title).
Telegram handle discovery → matched those profiles to their Telegram accounts.
Spredo Database enrichment → added them into the outreach-ready pool with 30+ filters.

This resulted in 1,500+ verified hedge fund decision-maker contacts.

From there, the team launched targeted campaigns:

Cold sequences across multiple accounts.
Safe pacing + stop-on-reply automation.
Personalized templates tailored to institutional investors.

The Results

SaaS-style dashboard displaying a metric ‘1,500+ hedge fund decision-maker contacts sourced,’ representing Stader Labs’ outreach results with Spredo.

With Spredo, Stader Labs went from “no way to reach hedge funds” to direct conversations with key decision-makers in weeks.

Key outcomes:

✅ 1,500+ institutional contacts sourced (verified hedge fund decision-makers).
✅ Outreach campaigns launched safely across multiple accounts.
✅ Institutional conversations opened that were previously inaccessible.

Instead of wasting time on generic groups, Stader Labs could focus BD on the exact right investors.

Why It Worked

Unique data collection → Combining LinkedIn profiles with Telegram handle discovery gave access to a hard-to-reach audience.
Automation + sequences → Ensured follow-ups happened consistently, without manual reminders.
Targeted filters → 30+ parameters allowed for precise segmentation (role, company type, investment focus).
CRM-ready sync → Every reply → directly logged and tracked for the sales team.

Conclusion

Outreach to institutions like hedge funds is one of the toughest challenges in Web3 BD. But with the right data + automation, it becomes not only possible, but scalable.

For Stader Labs, Spredo turned “institutional investors are unreachable” into 1,500+ verified contacts and active conversations on Telegram.
