Highest funding: Ethereum & Ripple
Lowest funding: NXT -- but they seem to have the most progress compared to every coin out there so far from this research as of 2015-Jun.
Conclusion, its not funding or even a good team, but something else in play that causes good progress in one of these funded coins.
