💰 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.

⏰ Run this as a portfolio watch (recommended)

Every IP registry actor is a monitoring subscription, not a one-shot lookup. Schedule a weekly sweep and catch new filings as they land:

{
  "statusFilter": "all",
  "maxResults": 10
}

Weekly cron (0 8 * * 1) turns this into an always-on portfolio watch.

📊 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.
