  "stageFilter": "Growth",               // optional — Seed, Venture, Growth, M&A, IPO
  "yearFromTo": { "from": 2020, "to": 2025 }, // optional — investment year range

Pricing — Pay-Per-Event

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005

Cost examples

• 50 companies in your sector → $37.50
• Full a16z portfolio (~836) → ~$627
• 25 companies (one Series B sector slice) → $18.75

Premium pricing reflects the sourcing-analyst use case: VC associates bill $200–500/hr; a single qualified company surfaced from this data covers the entire run cost many times over.

Companion actors

For broader sourcing coverage, pair with:

• YC Companies Directory — every Y Combinator company by batch and industry
• Startup Funding Tracker — venture funding rounds across firms

Together these three give you a complete top-tier-VC + accelerator picture of the early-stage landscape.

Notes on data freshness

• Pulls live from a16z.com on every run — no cache, no stale data
• a16z publishes the portfolio as static JSON embedded in the page, so this scraper is fast and resilient (no headless browser, no selector drift)
• Partner names are not published on a16z's portfolio index — that field is returned as an empty string. If a16z adds it, this actor will populate it without a schema change.
