🚀 Venture Capital & Startup Summarizer

An Apify Actor designed to fetch, extract, and summarize the latest news, funding rounds, and investment trends from top Venture Capital and Startup sources using AI.

✨ Features

Targeted Feeds: Collects high-value articles directly from authoritative sources like TechCrunch, Crunchbase News, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), VentureBeat, and Hacker News.
AI Summarization: Uses the OpenAI API (GPT-3.5) to generate concise, 5-6 sentence summaries of complex articles, distilling funding announcements and strategic analyses into actionable insights.
Structured Data Output: Delivers clean, structured JSON data that is ready for analysis, newsletters, or feeding into other business intelligence tools.
Resilience: Employs a multi-stage fetching process (Trafilatura + Playwright Chromium with resource blocking and time delays) specifically hardened to navigate dynamic tech and finance websites, maximizing successful article retrieval.
Fallback Reliability: Automatically falls back to the original, short RSS summary if full article content cannot be extracted due to paywalls or technical extraction failure, ensuring data is always produced.

🚀 How to Use

Input Configuration

Field	Type	Default	Description
