Y Combinator Companies Directory

Scrape the Y Combinator company directory for deal sourcing. Built for VCs, deal scouts, founders and AI agents.

⏰ Run this as a YC batch 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:

{
  "query": "AI",
  "limit": 100
}

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

📊 What you get

badges — Badges
batch — Batch
batch_year — Batch year
id — Id
industries — Industries
is_hiring — Is hiring
is_top_company — Is top company
locations — Locations
long_description — Long description
name — Name

Pricing: $0.05 per company (Pay-Per-Event) — about 20 companys per $1.
