Founders Fund Portfolio Scraper

Scrape the complete Founders Fund portfolio — Peter Thiel, Brian Singerman, and Keith Rabois' VC firm — and get structured data on every company they've publicly invested in: SpaceX, Palantir, Anduril, Stripe, Facebook, Airbnb, Ramp, Neuralink, OpenAI, Cognition, Spotify, Nubank, Trade Republic, Rippling, and the rest.

This is a premium VC-portfolio data feed — exclusive to one of the most contrarian and brand-recognizable funds in venture. Use it for competitive intelligence, contrarian-investment thesis sourcing, founder profile enrichment, M&A target discovery, and recruiting research.

Input

{
  "sectorFilter": ["Aerospace", "Intelligence"],
  "statusFilter": "active",
  "maxResults": 100
}

• sectorFilter (array, optional) — case-insensitive substring match against the FF industry label. Examples: ["Aerospace"] to pull SpaceX + adjacent, ["Intelligence"] for OpenAI / Anduril / Cognition / Neuralink.
• statusFilter (all | active | exited) — filter by company status. Status is inferred from the FF description text and a curated list of known IPOs/acquisitions.
• maxResults (integer, default 100, max 200) — cap the dataset size.

Empty input scrapes the entire portfolio.

Use cases

• VC competitive intelligence — Know exactly what FF has bet on, when, and in which sectors. Cross-reference against a16z, Sequoia, YC.
• Contrarian-investment thesis sourcing — FF is famously contrarian; their picks (Palantir, Anduril, SpaceX) often define new categories. Use this feed to track the firm's revealed preference signal.
• Founder profile enrichment — Pull founders + their LinkedIn/Crunchbase/Wikipedia profiles in one shot for outreach, recruiting, or due diligence.
• M&A target discovery — Filter to status=exited to study FF's exit playbook, or to status=active for mature private targets.
• Recruiting research — Founders + ex-founders of FF-backed companies are a high-signal talent pool.

How it works

This actor uses the public WordPress REST API exposed by foundersfund.com at /wp-json/wp/v2/company — the same data source that powers the live portfolio page. No HTML scraping, no JavaScript rendering, no proxies required in normal operation (residential proxy is configured as a safety net only). This makes it fast, reliable, and resilient to UI redesigns.

If Founders Fund ever pulls the public API or blocks all scrapers, this actor will be deprecated rather than silently return placeholder data.

Output format

Returns a clean JSON array via the standard Apify dataset. Use it directly in Make.com, Zapier, n8n, or any tool that consumes JSON.
