Fundraising & Startup Funding Scraper 🚀

Never miss a funding round again. This Actor is a specialized web scraper designed for B2B sales teams, investors, and market researchers who need real-time data on startup investments.

It monitors the "Big Three" sources of funding news and extracts clean, structured data into a spreadsheet.

🌟 Why use this Fundraising Scraper?

Manual lead generation from news sites is slow and prone to error. This tool automates the process by:

• B2B Sales: Identify companies with fresh "cash injections"—the peak moment for buying new software and services.
• VC & Private Equity: Track market trends and competitor investments daily.
• Market Research: Aggregate funding data across multiple industries to spot emerging sectors.

• Aggregating multiple sources: Monitors TechCrunch, Crunchbase News, and FinSMEs simultaneously.
• Smart Data Extraction: Uses AI-pattern matching to separate company names from headlines.
• Funding Details: Specifically extracts dollar amounts ($M/B) and investment rounds (Seed, Series A, etc.).
• Deduplication Ready: Provides the source URL and timestamp for every lead.

🛠️ Features

• ✅ Multi-Site Support: Built-in logic for TechCrunch, Crunchbase, and FinSMEs.
• ✅ Lead Generation Ready: Export data to CSV, Excel, or JSON for your CRM.
• ✅ Deep Content Analysis: Scans the article body to find details not present in the headline.
• ✅ Fast & Efficient: Uses Playwright for high reliability and anti-blocking.
