✨ Why use this Actor

Built for real workflows.

• 💼 Job seekers and recruiters: filter by "backed by a16z" and know who's actually hiring, without checking five separate job boards by hand.
• 🎯 Sales and BD teams: use "funded by a16z" as an ICP filter for outreach, with a real website and LinkedIn page on every company, not a bare name.
• 📊 VC analysts and researchers: track a16z's exits and stage progression with real invest dates, exit dates, tickers, and acquirers.

Both a16z directories, richer than either dedicated competitor. One scraper covers only the Speedrun accelerator at $10 per 1,000 results. Another covers the full portfolio at $100 per 1,000 results, but with just 8 thin fields and no social links, no exit data, and no founder details. This Actor covers both in one run, with far more fields, at a fraction of the price.

🛠️ Tips for better runs

• Leave includeHiringSignal off for the fastest, cheapest runs when you only need company profiles.
• Turn includeHiringSignal on for job search or lead-gen use cases, it costs one extra request for the whole run, not per company.
• Set maxItems if you only need a sample. With both sources selected, portfolio companies are collected first, so a low maxItems may only return portfolio results; raise it or run each source separately for a balanced mix.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape a16z's site? This Actor only collects data that is already publicly visible on a16z's own portfolio and Speedrun pages. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with a16z's terms of service.

Why do some companies have missing fields? Not every field is published for every company. This Actor never invents or guesses a value: if a16z doesn't publish it, such as a founding year or invest date, the field is left out rather than filled with a placeholder.

Does this include a "sector" or industry tag for portfolio companies? No. a16z's own portfolio data doesn't publish a sector field, so this Actor doesn't invent one. Speedrun companies do have a real industries field, which is included.

Can I get notified of new investments or hires automatically? Yes. Schedule this Actor to run daily or weekly from the Apify Console and pipe new results into Google Sheets, Slack, or your own database with no code.

Found a bug or need a custom version of this Actor? Open an issue from the Actor's Issues tab and it'll be looked at directly.
