Safary, the web3 alternative to Google Analytics, has announced the successful closure of its pre-seed round, raising $2.4 million USD. The round was led by Lemniscap, with participation from Arca, SevenX, Big Brain Holdings, Saison Capital, Diaspora Ventures, and 20 web3 angel investors – 14 of which are members of the Safary community.

The funding will be leveraged to add firepower to Safary’s team and accelerate the development of Safary’s marketing attribution platform, which enables Web3 teams to analyze their marketing CAC, channel ROI, and customer LTV. Safary’s free, user-friendly solution allows projects to unlock powerful Web3 analytics simply by adding one line of code to their website.

Google’s plan to phase out third-party cookies by 2024 means marketers will no longer be able to use the tracking methods they’ve long relied on to understand user behavior, personalize experiences, and optimize campaigns. Acknowledging this impending shift, Safary empowers marketers with the ability to protect user privacy while collecting only the data they need to make informed decisions.

As the only cookie-free Web3 tracking platform, Safary allows marketers to centralize their growth data and measure the results of any Web3 marketing campaign from organic content to KOLs, quests, ad networks, and more – offering critical insights without infringing on users’ privacy. Safary tracks wallets, shows Web3 conversions, and links to on-chain actions in an intuitive no-code dashboard.

Safary’s journey has been unprecedented, from launching as the first Web3 growth community, to evangelizing the Web3 growth ecosystem, and now to building a powerful growth platform. As Safary co-founder Justin Vogel says: “Growth leaders are at the center of everything we do – that means we’ll work hard to support them whether they’re using our software or not.”
