It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ### What is Y Combinator Companies & Founders Scraper? Y Combinator Companies & Founders Scraper is an Apify Actor that reads Y Combinator's public startup directory at [ycombinator.com/companies](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies) and returns **one clean row per company** — batch, status, industries, team size, hiring status, one-liner, description and, optionally, **founder name, title, LinkedIn and Twitter/X**. It reads the same public search index the directory page itself queries (with YC’s public `api.ycombinator.com` feed as a fallback), so there is no browser, no anti-bot wall and no API key required, and it can return the **whole directory (6,000+ companies)**, newest launches first. Founder details come from the server-rendered JSON embedded in each company's own profile page. Try it with the default input to pull the 200 most recently launched YC companies, or filter by batch (`W25`, `S25`, `F26`…), industry, status or hiring status. ### Why use Y Combinator Companies & Founders Scraper? YC has funded over 5,000 startups, and its directory is one of the highest-signal sources of pre-seed and seed-stage company data on the internet — every listed company has passed YC's selection process and has real founders behind it. Buyers of this data include: - **VCs and angel investors** sourcing deal flow by batch or industry before a demo day. - **Recruiters and talent scouts** targeting companies that are actively hiring. - **B2B sales and lead-gen teams** building prospect lists of well-funded, fast-growing startups. - **Market researchers** tracking which industries and sectors YC is funding batch over batch. Because founders are extracted with their name, title, LinkedIn and Twitter/X handle, this Actor doubles as a founder-contact-discovery tool — no manual profile-by-profile browsing needed. ### How to use Y Combinator Companies & Founders Scraper 1. Click **Start** with the default input to fetch the 200 newest companies with founders included, or 2. Fill in **Batches** (e.g. `W25`), **Industries** (e.g. `B2B`), **Company statuses** and/or turn on **Is hiring** to narrow the list. 3. Set **Max companies** to the number of rows you need (up to 10,000). 4. Leave **Include founders** on to get founder name/title/LinkedIn/Twitter per company, or turn it off for a faster, founder-free run. 5. Click **Start**, then export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML. ### Example input ```json { "batches": ["W25"], "industries": ["B2B"], "isHiring": true, "maxCompanies": 50, "includeFounders": true } ``` ### Example output ```json { "id": 30365, "name": "Mentra", "slug": "mentra", "ycUrl": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/mentra", "website": "https://mentra.glass", "oneLiner": "Building the open source smart glasses operating system.", "batch": "W25", "status": "Active", "industries": ["Consumer", "Virtual and Augmented Reality"], "teamSize": 12, "isHiring": true, "founders": [ { "name": "Cayden Pierce", "title": "Founder/CEO", "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/cayden-pierce/", "twitter": "https://x.com/caydengineer" } ], "founderCount": 2, "scrapedAt": "2026-09-12T18:29:20.320Z" } ``` ### Data table | Field | Type | Description | | --------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `id`, `name`, `slug`, `ycUrl`, `website`, `logoUrl` | number, string | Identity fields and links | | `oneLiner`, `description` | string | Short pitch and long description (truncated to 2,000 characters) | | `batch`, `status` | string | YC batch code (e.g. `W25`) and Active/Acquired/Public/Inactive | | `industries`, `tags`, `locations`, `regions` | array | Industry tags, free-form tags, self-reported offices and region groupings | | `teamSize` | number | Self-reported headcount | | `launchedAt` | string or null | When the company launched on YC (ISO 8601) | | `isHiring` | boolean or null | Whether the company lists open jobs on YC | | `founders`, `founderCount` | array, number | `{name, title, linkedin, twitter}` per founder, from the company's own profile page | | `error` | string or null | Set only if founder enrichment failed for this row; all listing fields are still populated | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of the run | ### Pricing Y Combinator Companies & Founders Scraper is **pay-per-event** at **$0.002 per company row**. Scraping 1,000 companies with founders costs **$2**, well below the cost of hiring someone to browse the directory manually or building your own scraper against an undocumented API. ### Y Combinator Companies & Founders Scraper vs. manual directory browsing The YC directory's website only shows 20 companies per page with no bulk export, and founder contact details require opening each profile individually. This Actor pulls thousands of rows in minutes, runs on a schedule, and outputs structured JSON/CSV ready for your CRM, spreadsheet or BI tool — instead of hours of copy-paste. ### Using Y Combinator Companies & Founders Scraper with AI agents / MCP This Actor is built pay-per-event with limited permissions, so it is directly callable by AI agents through the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com) or the `search-actors`/`call-actor` tools. Ask an agent to "find YC W25 companies hiring in B2B with founder LinkedIn URLs" and it can call this Actor with the matching input and read the results straight from the dataset. ### FAQ **Is this legal?** The Actor reads only YC's own public directory data (the search index behind ycombinator.com/companies and `api.ycombinator.com`) and the public HTML of company profile pages — the same data anyone can see by visiting ycombinator.com/companies while logged out. No login, scraping of private Bookface data, or circumvention of access controls is involved. **Does this include founder emails?** No — only publicly listed name, title, LinkedIn and Twitter/X, exactly as shown on the company's own YC profile page. **Integrations**: Pipe the dataset into Google Sheets, Airtable, HubSpot or Salesforce via Apify's built-in integrations, or connect it to n8n/Make/Zapier for automated lead-list building. **Something not working?** Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab — YC occasionally reshapes its page markup, and a broken founder parser is usually a quick fix. ### Related Actors Part of the **webdatatools** web-intelligence suite — every Actor is pay-per-event, reads public data without a login, and returns one clean row per entity: Browse the whole suite at [webdatatools](https://paulet4a-commits.github.io/webdatatools/), or call ten of these Actors straight from Claude, Cursor or Cline with the [webdatatools MCP server](https://github.com/paulet4a-commits/webdatatools-mcp-server). **Website & domain intelligence** -

Use the Issues tab on this Actor's Apify Store page — custom scraping and data-enrichment work is also available on request. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Pick "Browse companies" to list/filter the directory by batch, industry, status or hiring status, or "Search by keyword" to additionally match the query text against each company's name and description. ## `query` (type: `string`): Enter keywords to match against the company name, one-liner and description, e.g. "AI agents". Only used when mode is "Search by keyword", or as an extra filter on top of the other fields in "Browse companies" mode. Leave empty to skip text search. ## `batches` (type: `array`): Enter YC batch codes to keep, e.g. W25, S25, F26. Leave empty to include every batch. Codes are case-insensitive and matched exactly against the company's batch field. ## `industries` (type: `array`): Enter industry names to keep, e.g. B2B, Fintech, Healthcare. A company matches if it has at least one of the listed industries. Leave empty to include every industry. ## `statuses` (type: `array`): Select which company statuses to keep. Leave empty to include every status (most companies are Active). ## `isHiring` (type: `boolean`): Turn on to keep only companies currently marked as hiring on YC's directory, or leave this switch off (unset) to include both hiring and non-hiring companies. There is no third state for "only non-hiring" — untoggled means "do not filter". ## `maxCompanies` (type: `integer`): Enter the maximum number of matching companies to return, e.g. 200. This is also the billed unit — the run stops as soon as it collects this many matches or runs out of companies to check. ## `includeFounders` (type: `boolean`): Keep this on to fetch each matched company's public YC profile page and extract founder name, title, LinkedIn and Twitter/X links. Turning it off skips one extra request per company and returns founders as null, which is much faster for large runs. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Enter how many HTTP requests (listing pages and founder profile pages) to run in parallel, e.g. 3. Raise it for faster large runs, lower it if you see request errors. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "companies", "query": "AI agents", "batches": [ "W25" ], "industries": [ "B2B" ], "statuses": [ "Active" ], "maxCompanies": 50, "includeFounders": true, "maxConcurrency": 3 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `companies` (type: `string`): All matched companies — download as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
