FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Does it include public job postings?

Yes. It extracts public YC job postings from company profile pages when available.

Does it expose founder emails?

No. YC may expose a boolean has_email flag for founders, but not the email address itself. The Actor charges email-found only for actual public email strings found in fetched pages.
