Lightspeed Portfolio Scraper

Extract Lightspeed Venture Partners' full ~650-company portfolio with stage invested, investment year, partner names, founders, status (Private / Public / Acquired / IPO), description, and company website — direct from lsvp.com.

Lightspeed is unusual among top-decile VC firms in having genuine multi-geography coverage: strong US bench (Snap, Affirm, Anthropic, Wiz), India franchise (Acko, Apna, Acceldata, Sharechat-era network), historical China presence, and Israel cybersecurity (Wiz, Cato Networks). This actor surfaces all of it as clean structured JSON.

Honest caveats

• sector is null for every record. Lightspeed exposes sector only as a listing-page filter facet (AI / Fintech / Enterprise / Consumer / Health / Gaming / Blockchain / Growth) backed by a nonced AJAX endpoint behind Cloudflare. We do not call that endpoint — instead sectorFilter is a substring search across name + description + leadership. Reliable but not the canonical taxonomy.
• geography is heuristically inferred from city names in descriptions, partner team composition, and website TLDs. Lightspeed does not publish a per-company geography field. Records where no cue fires are emitted as "unknown", not as a default geography.

Inputs

Input	Type	Default	Description
geographyFilter	enum	global	global returns all; US / India / China / Israel keep only records where the heuristic fires for that region.
sectorFilter	string	""	Free-form substring; e.g. ai, fintech, cybersecurity, vertical SaaS. Empty returns all.
statusFilter	enum	all	all | Private | Public | Acquired | IPO.
yearFromTo	string	""	YYYY-YYYY or YYYY inclusive range, applied to the LSVP investment year.
maxResults	int	100	1–1000. Each result is billed at the per-company PPE rate.

Pricing

Pay-per-event:

• Portfolio company: $0.50 per result (primary)

Use cases

• Cross-border investment intelligence — Lightspeed is one of the few US-headquartered firms with serious deal flow across US + India + Israel + (historical) China. Map the firm's regional balance and exit ratios per region.
• VC landscape mapping — combine with the a16z Portfolio Scraper, Sequoia Portfolio Scraper, and Y Combinator Companies Scraper to build a unified founder-stage / co-investor view.
• Sales prospecting — pull Private + investmentYear >= 2020 to get a list of well-funded, still-private B2B SaaS / cybersecurity / AI companies with name + website. Pipe into Hunter.io for emails.
• M&A targeting — filter status = Acquired to see Lightspeed's exit cohort and infer comparables for similar companies.
• Competitive intel — compare partner-team coverage across sectors to spot where Lightspeed is concentrating versus diversifying.

How it works

1. Single GET to https://lsvp.com/companies/ returns the full ~565 KB static HTML containing all 651 unique companies (spotlight rows + founder cards).
2. Listing parse extracts name, slug, detail URL, founders, founded year, stage invested, LSVP investment year, status.
3. After status / year pre-filter, concurrent detail-page fetches (8 workers) enrich each survivor with description, company website URL, leadership block, and Lightspeed partner team.
4. Sector / geography filters apply, then results stream to the dataset (each item charged once).

All traffic routes through Apify residential proxies. No Playwright — site is static-rendered.
