VC Fellowships & Talent Networks Scraper
Scrape VC fellowship and talent network members from a16z, Neo, Pear, Kleiner Perkins, and General Catalyst. Each record includes name, role, company, school, bio, and cohort year. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
VC fellowships and talent networks are where the next generation of founders and operators first surface, but their directories are scattered across firm websites and often hidden behind JavaScript. This Actor reads the public member listings from a16z, Neo, Pear, Kleiner Perkins, and General Catalyst, normalizes each person into one flat row, and lets you filter by keyword or cohort year before you export.
| Who uses it | What they scrape VC Fellowships & Talent Networks for |
|---|---|
| VC scouts and talent partners | Build a pipeline of high-potential founders and operators before they raise |
| Recruiters at early-stage startups | Find technical and business talent with a proven interest in startups |
| Market researchers | Track which schools and companies feed the top VC networks each year |
| Fellowship applicants | Study the backgrounds of past cohorts to calibrate their own applications |
What it does
This Actor collects member profiles from five major VC fellowship and talent network programs and returns each person as a flat row with name, role, company, school, bio, and cohort year.
- 🎯 Program selection: scrape all five programs by default, or pick one, like Neo Scholars or Pear VC Fellows.
- 🔍 Keyword filter: case-insensitive match on name, role, company, school, or bio, so you can pull every bio that mentions 'AI' or 'Stanford'.
- 📅 Cohort year filter: restrict results to a single class year when the program publishes it, from 2005 to 2030.
- 📦 Flat row output: every person becomes one record with the same fields, ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your keyword and cohort year filters. A keyword like 'blockchain' may return nothing if no current profile mentions it. Try clearing both filters and running with the default program selection.
Why did I only get 10 items?
Free users are limited to 10 items as a preview. Upgrade to a paid plan and set maxItems higher to scrape the full dataset.
Some profiles are missing fields like school or bio.
Not every program publishes the same level of detail. If a field is absent on the source page, it will be empty in the output. This is expected behavior.
The run failed with a timeout.
The program websites may be slow or temporarily unavailable. Retry the run, and if the issue persists, reduce the number of programs selected or lower maxItems.
