Y Combinator Companies Scraper
The whole YC directory filtered by batch, industry, tag or region — with founders and socials.
Pay per result on Apify. Runs that return nothing cost nothing; Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month, and Apify Bronze, Silver and Gold subscribers get 10%, 20% and 30% off.
Filter about 6,000 YC startups by batch, status, industry, tag, region or city, team size and keywords, and get website, one-liner, description, team size, locations and badges for each. Turn on founder details to add founders with LinkedIn and X, year founded, the company's socials and open jobs.
Directory data comes from YC's public companies API, details from the public company pages — nothing to log in to.
