Turn Tiny Startups into structured startup records

🚫 Tiny Startups Scraper reads the live homepage, removes Tiny Startups tracking params from company URLs, keeps promoted cards out by default, and can find startup-site emails in the same run.

Fastest way to try it

Start with maxNbItemsToScrape: 10, leave Include promoted listings? off, and inspect the first dataset rows in the Output tab.

Why people use it

• 🧼 Turn Tiny Startups links into cleaned company URLs that are ready for CRMs, warehouses, agents, and dedupe workflows.
• 🚫 Keep paid placements separate from organic launches unless you explicitly opt in.
• 📬 Pull startup-site emails in the same run instead of chaining a second crawler later.
• 🔢 Start small with a safe cap like 10, then remove the limit when you want the full homepage.
• 🌐 Run with Apify proxy settings or direct mode, depending on how you want outbound requests handled.

How to use in 3 simple steps

1. Open the Input tab and set maxNbItemsToScrape to a small value like 10, or leave it empty for the full homepage.
2. Decide whether Include promoted listings? should stay off, and keep Scrape emails? on if you want startup-site email enrichment.
3. Run the actor, then use the Output tab or API in your own systems.

Inputs, defaults, and behavior

• 🌐 The actor reads the live Tiny Startups homepage launch grid.
• 🔢 Leave maxNbItemsToScrape empty or set it to 0 to scrape all eligible startup cards.
• 📣 Include promoted listings? defaults to off, so promoted cards stay out unless you opt in.
• 📬 shouldScrapeEmails defaults to true and shallow-crawls each startup site for contact emails.
• 🧼 Tiny Startups tracking parameters are stripped from company URLs before they are emitted.
• 🔁 Email enrichment is deduplicated by normalized company URL so the same startup site is not crawled twice.
• 📄 listingUrl and description are always null because Tiny Startups does not expose stable values for those fields in this actor's contract.
• ⚠️ If email discovery fails for one startup, that startup is still emitted with emails: [].
• 🌐 Proxy configuration supports Apify proxy auto mode and direct mode when you explicitly pass null.

How much does Tiny Startups scraping cost?

This actor uses price-per-result billing, so the main cost driver is how many startup rows it emits. The easiest first run is maxNbItemsToScrape: 10, which is about $0.10 at the current repo-configured rate. At that same repo-configured rate, 100 startup rows is about $1.00. The live Pricing tab is the source of truth for the exact current rate.

Why run Tiny Startups Scraper on Apify?

• 📬 Keep startup rows and website-email enrichment in one managed run.
• 🔢 Schedule repeat runs so new homepage cards land in a dataset without manual checking.
• 🚫 Review run logs when you want to confirm which cards were skipped as promoted.
• 🌐 Use Apify proxy settings when you want managed outbound requests without extra plumbing.
• 🧼 Keep cleaned output URLs and run history together for downstream automation.

FAQ

Can I include promoted listings?

Yes. Include promoted listings? defaults to off, so the actor returns organic cards unless you opt in.

Why are listingUrl and description null?

Tiny Startups does not expose stable per-company listing URLs or long descriptions in this actor's source contract, so those fields stay null by design.

What happens if email enrichment fails for one startup?

The startup is still emitted, and its emails field is an empty array for that row.

Can I scrape the full homepage?

Yes. Leave maxNbItemsToScrape empty or set it to 0.

What should I try if the output looks incomplete or a run fails?

First verify maxNbItemsToScrape, whether Include promoted listings? is off, and whether the source card still exposes the company data you expect. Re-run with a smaller limit like 10, then check the run log before opening an issue.

Where do I report a missing field, broken card, or source-site change?

Open the Issues page with the company URL or Tiny Startups card you tested, the input you used, and the output you expected. I use that queue for fixes and feature requests.
