UnleashNFTs
"CoinMarketCap for NFTs, with forensics on top." Real-time market data, dashboards and reports across chains.
UNL · MUCI'm Vijay Pravin Maharajan: a data scientist turned founder, 3× TEDx speaker, traveller across 52 countries and followed by 500K+ people online. I raised $12M+ for bitsCrunch from Coinbase Ventures, Animoca Brands and Crypto.com Capital, and today I lead HeyUla from Munich.
I grew up in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. My mother was a teacher and my father served in the police force. That mix of curiosity and a strong sense of fairness has shaped everything I've built since.
After engineering at Anna University, I moved to Germany for a Master's at the Technical University of Munich, then spent years as a data scientist and analytics expert at Telefónica, Volkswagen and Siemens.
In the 2021 NFT boom I lost money to fraudulent collections and found no tools to tell real from fake. So I built one. bitsCrunch became "the NFT Police": AI forensics backed by Coinbase Ventures, Animoca Brands and Crypto.com Capital.
Today, as founder and CEO of HeyUla, I'm still doing what I love most: using data and AI to make everyday life simpler, and sharing what I learn along the way across 52 countries and counting.
