Turn the Y Combinator company directory into a B2B lead list. Filter by keyword, batch, industry, or hiring status and get, for every startup, the company, website, a scraped contact email, one-liner, industry, team size, location, batch, and hiring flag. One lead per startup.
YC startups are a premium target for B2B vendors, recruiters, and investors. The directory is keyless, and the contact email is scraped from the company website (99% of companies list one).
Who buys this
- B2B SaaS selling to fast-growing startups early.
- Recruiters and staffing (use the hiring filter).
- VCs and competitive intel tracking batches and sectors.
- Sales teams building a curated, funded-company pipeline.
How it works
- It loads the YC company directory and filters by your keywords, batches, industries, hiring status, and team size.
- It fetches each company website and scrapes a contact email.
- Each startup is scored and tiered, then pushed as one lead.
Output
One row per startup:
