FAQ

Do I need to know the exact Wellfound slug? No. The Industries and Locations fields are searchable dropdowns. Start typing and pick from the list.

Can I combine an industry with a location? Yes. Pick both and the Actor returns the intersection, such as fintech startups in San Francisco.

Can I paste my own Wellfound URLs? Yes. Paste up to 3 Wellfound /startups listing URLs in Start URLs.

What does Max Companies mean? It limits how many company profiles are saved across the whole run. Set it to 0 for no limit.

Is there a founded date or launch date? No. Wellfound does not expose a founded or launch date in the available company profile data.

What if the scraper gets blocked? This Actor uses anti-blocking techniques and retries blocked pages. If you need help with a run, contact support with the run URL.
