# Seed-Stage AI Startups in New York

**Use case:** 

Builds a list of New York AI companies at seed stage that raised in the last 12 months, merged from SEC Form D filings, the Y Combinator directory and funding press. Each row has the stage and how sure it is, the last round amount and date, investors, HQ and website. Change the city or state, or add Series A, to reshape the list.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Funding Stage Company Finder — Startups by Stage & Industry](https://apify.com/inovaflow/funding-stage-company-finder.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/inovaflow/funding-stage-company-finder.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/inovaflow/funding-stage-company-finder.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
