This past week I’ve been on Twitter a lot watching the election coverage, Elon musk shenanigans and the fall of Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX and Alameda Research. In the course of my scrolling I happened upon a tweet examining the portfolio holdings of FTX, FTX Ventures and Alameda Research:

With the Employbl project my cofounders and I, with the assistance of Diffbot — one of the world’s largest knowledge graphs, have built a database of startups and tech startup funding rounds. Earlier this fall I added a ton of web3 companies to our database so I was curious about what startups FTX had backed.

We’ve added a tag now to Employbl so you can search to see companies that FTX, FTX Ventures or Alameda Research has invested in. We focus mainly on companies in the United States so we ignored the companies like Sky Mavis that’s based in Singapore or the collapsed offshore exchange Liquid Global that FTX owned. With those caveat we’ve built pages where you can see the companies that SBF invested in:
