Wellfound Jobs Scraper: startup jobs with salary, equity & company data

Wellfound Jobs Scraper extracts startup job listings from Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) by role, location or remote. It returns clean JSON, CSV or Excel with salary and equity parsed into numbers, the company's website, industry, size, funding stage and investor badges, and the full job description.

Use it to build a startup job board or newsletter, benchmark tech salaries and equity, find fast-growing startups that are hiring for sales prospecting, or feed AI agents with fresh job data.

👉 Try it in 30 seconds: keep the prefilled input ("software engineer", 20 jobs) and click Start. That's about 4 cents.

🔁 Monitor new Wellfound jobs (incremental mode)

Turn on Only new or changed jobs and schedule the actor (for example daily) in Apify Schedules:

• The first run saves every matching job as a baseline.
• Later runs save only jobs that are NEW or UPDATED (title, pay, locations or description changed). Unchanged jobs are skipped and not charged.
• Each saved job carries changeType, so you know what happened.
• Use State key to give the monitor a name. Runs with the same key share memory even if you tweak other inputs.

Combine it with Apify integrations to get new jobs straight into Slack, email, Google Sheets, Airtable, Make, Zapier or n8n.

💡 Use cases

• Job boards and newsletters: a daily feed of fresh startup jobs, with salary, equity and remote info already structured.
• Recruiters and talent teams: track which startups are hiring for which roles, and at what pay.
• Sales prospecting: startups that are hiring have budget. Export the Hiring companies view with website, size, stage and industry, and push it to your CRM.
• Salary and equity benchmarking: compare compensation by role, city, company stage and size.
• Investors and analysts: spot hiring momentum across startups and sectors.
• AI agents and RAG: compact, clean job data for LLM pipelines (markdown descriptions, length cap).

    print(job["title"], job["companyName"], job["salaryMin"], job["salaryMax"])

JavaScript / Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

❓ FAQ

Is Wellfound the same as AngelList Talent? Yes. AngelList Talent was renamed Wellfound in 2022. This actor scrapes wellfound.com.

How many jobs can I get? Wellfound shows up to about 46 pages (roughly 900 startups) per listing. For a broad market, split it into several roles and/or locations. The actor deduplicates across all of them.

Do I need a Wellfound account, cookies or a proxy? No. The actor reads public listings only. A proxy is optional.

How fresh is the data? It is scraped live on every run. postedAt shows when each job went live.

Why are some salary or company fields empty? Not every startup publishes a salary, equity or website. Fields are null when Wellfound doesn't show them. Use onlyWithSalary or onlyWithEquity to keep only complete listings.
