🚀 Y Combinator Startup Directory Scraper

Extract rich dataset on recently funded YC startups with zero browser overhead.

How to scrape Y Combinator companies?

This Apify actor provides an API-first approach to scraping the Y Combinator startup directory. Instead of rendering heavy headless browsers (like Puppeteer or Playwright), this tool performs lightning-fast HTTP queries directly against YC's internal infrastructure. This architecture ensures unmatched speed, lower compute costs, and a highly reliable data pipeline.

B2B Startup Lead Generation

Are you looking for high-quality B2B sales leads or founder contacts?

VC funded startups are some of the fastest-growing and best-capitalized new businesses on the planet. Using this scraper as a Crunchbase alternative allows you to continuously enrich your CRM with top-tier startup data. It hits raw JSON endpoints for lightning-fast extraction, making it the perfect tool for daily automated lead enrichment.

Key Features

Lightning-fast API Extraction: Bypasses DOM rendering for speed.
Detailed Founder Data: Scrapes founder names and their LinkedIn URLs directly from their individual startup profiles.
Complete Company Details: Extracts locations, websites, long descriptions, arrays of industries, and more.
Pay Per Result: Cost-effective extraction, paying only for successful records.
