The recently funded startups task counted 1,102 US companies with 11 to 200 staff whose last round, seed or Series A, closed on or after 1 July 2025 (31 Oct 2026). Preview only recounts it for free. ### Why look for founders at recently funded startups? A startup that just raised has budget and is hiring and buying tools. In the recently funded startups task the founders are the buyers until the first sales and ops leaders join. ### Why exclude advisor and board titles? Advisors and board members also list themselves as co-founders. The recently funded startups task drops those titles so each company returns the founders who run it. ### How fresh is the funding data? Rounds in the recently funded startups task run to late November 2025 on 31 Oct 2026, so a window from July 2025 is the most recent full stretch. Every company row carries the round date. ### How do I change the stage, country or size? Edit Funding stages, Company countries and the size fields of the recently funded startups task, such as series_b or gb, then run Preview only to see the new count first. ## About this Actor This example demonstrates how to use [Full ICP Search — Clay Alternative for Companies, Leads & Jobs](https://apify.com/b2bsearch/full-icp-search.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/b2bsearch/full-icp-search.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself. ## How to integrate an Actor? This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/b2bsearch/full-icp-search.md Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
