TinySeed Scraper

🌱 TinySeed scraper for portfolio company research

TinySeed Scraper reads the public TinySeed portfolio and turns visible company cards into clean rows for research, lead lists, market mapping, and outreach prep. Each saved company can include its website, cohort, location, TinySeed description, logo URL, source page, and optional public emails found on the company website.

• ✅ Portfolio rows in one run - collect TinySeed company data without opening every card by hand.
• ✅ Cohort-focused exports - include all cohorts or filter by fragments such as Fall 2025 or Spring 2024 Americas.
• ✅ Research-ready context - keep company descriptions, locations, logo links, and source URLs with each row.
• ✅ Optional email enrichment - visit company websites during the same run and add public email addresses when found.
• ✅ Small first run - use Company limit to test a short batch before scraping every matching company.

🚀 Quick start

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Keep Company limit at 80 for a useful bounded first run, or set it to 0 to save every matching company.
3. Leave Cohorts to include empty for the full public portfolio, or add one or more cohort fragments such as Fall 2025.
4. Keep Scrape website emails? on if you want the actor to visit company websites and look for public emails.
5. Run the actor, then review the dataset in the finished run or pull the same rows through the API.

💳 Pricing

This actor charges per saved TinySeed portfolio company. Skipped cards and failed optional email lookups are not separate charge events.

The local pricing artifact sets the primary event to Scraped company at $0.00002 per saved company row.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• TinySeed must show a company website URL and description for a company to be saved.
• TinySeed does not always expose every optional field. The actor keeps missing cohort, location, logo, image alt, and category values empty instead of filling them in.
• During the latest implementation validation, TinySeed did not expose category/status tags in the portfolio card HTML, so categories can be empty for current rows.
• Email enrichment depends on what each company website publicly exposes. If a website cannot be loaded or has no visible emails, the company row is still saved with emails: [].
• This actor returns source-hosted logo URLs. It does not download or copy TinySeed images into Apify storage.

❓ FAQ

Can I scrape only one TinySeed cohort?

Yes. Add one or more entries to Cohorts to include, such as Fall 2025. The actor matches those fragments against the visible TinySeed cohort headings.

Does this actor need a TinySeed account?

No. It reads the public TinySeed portfolio page and does not ask for TinySeed cookies, login details, or API keys.

Does it return contact emails?

It can. Keep Scrape website emails? enabled and the actor will visit each saved company's website to look for public email addresses. If none are found, emails is an empty array.

Can I use the results through an API?

Yes. After a run finishes, you can export the dataset from Apify or fetch it through the default dataset API URL.
