Real rows from run 4h5EnxkAQueU4Kpwq on build 0.0.9 (2026-09-25), unedited apart from masked emails/phones and shortened long text; fields the source does not publish are empty.

Dates: year_of_investment and first_announced_date are the date Founders Fund published the company's page on foundersfund.com, which is often years after the actual investment (SpaceX shows 2014). Treat them as "listed on the site" dates, not deal dates.

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$5e-05	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Portfolio company (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.05	Charged per Founders Fund portfolio company with name, sector, year, partner, founder, website, status, exit info.

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.05 = $5.00 plus the start fee.

📊 What you get

Clean JSON, one record per company (full output has 19 fields):

• crunchbase_url — Crunchbase url
• description — Description
• exit_details — Exit details
• first_announced_date — First announced date
• founders — Founders
• founders_detail — Founders detail
• founders_fund_url — Founders fund url
• id — Id
• industry — Industry
• linkedin_url — Linkedin url

Pricing: $0.05 per company (Pay-Per-Event) — about 20 companies per $1, plus $0.00005 per GB of run memory at actor start. The full portfolio is currently 64 companies (~$3.20). You are charged per delivered row only: a run that matches nothing charges nothing, and a run that cannot reach foundersfund.com fails with an explanatory status message instead of a silent empty success.
