Y Combinator Companies Scraper - Full Startup Database

Extract the complete Y Combinator company directory: every startup YC has funded, with its batch, industry, stage, team size, location and website. Filter it down to exactly the slice you care about, from "all W24 fintech companies still active" to "everyone currently hiring in Europe".

No API key, no proxy needed.

Search filters

  • batch - one YC batch, e.g. W24, S23
  • industry - e.g. Fintech, Healthcare, B2B
  • stage - e.g. Seed, Series A, Growth
  • region - e.g. America / Canada, Europe, Remote
  • minTeamSize / maxTeamSize - size band
  • isHiringOnly - only companies with open roles
  • topCompanyOnly - only companies YC flags as top performers
  • maxItems - how many companies to save

Leave every filter empty to export the whole directory, which is several thousand companies.

Example input

{
"industry": "Fintech",
"stage": "Series A",
"isHiringOnly": true,
"maxItems": 500
}

Use cases

  • B2B lead generation - build a targeted list of startups by industry, stage and size, with websites
  • Investor and market research - map how YC's portfolio concentrates by theme and batch over time
  • Competitive analysis - find every funded company working in your space
  • Recruiting and talent sourcing - filter to companies currently hiring, then follow workatastartupUrl
  • Sales territory planning - segment by region and team size to size an addressable market
  • Data enrichment - resolve a startup name to batch, stage, status and current team size

Why the YC directory

YC publishes its portfolio openly, including companies that failed or were acquired, and keeps team size and status current. That combination of completeness and honest lifecycle data is rare: most startup databases quietly drop the companies that did not work out, which distorts any analysis of a cohort.

Notes

  • teamSize and status reflect the moment of scraping, so repeated runs make a useful time series of growth and attrition.
  • Leaving filters empty exports the whole directory. Filters compose, so a narrow combination such as batch plus industry can legitimately return very few rows.
  • isTopCompany is YC's own flag, not a derived metric.
