Wellfound Startups Scraper (Full Details)

Wellfound Company Scraper

(scrapes startup company profiles from Wellfound.com, formerly AngelList Talent)

This Wellfound scraper extracts startup company profiles with funding, founders, company websites, team size, hiring status, and social links. Choose an industry, a location, or both, then export one record per company as JSON, CSV, or Excel for lead generation and market research.

Each record has 27 fields. Company details are included without a separate profile-detail option. You can also start runs through the Apify API, schedule repeat runs, and connect the results to other apps.

FAQ

Do I need to know the exact Wellfound company link?

No. Industries and Locations are searchable dropdowns. Start typing and pick from the list.

Can I paste search links or individual company links?

This version starts from the Industries and Locations dropdowns. Pasted links are not an input option.

Can I combine an industry with a location?

Yes. Pick both to find companies matching both filters, such as fintech startups in San Francisco. Choose All industries or All locations to leave that filter open.

Is this an unofficial Wellfound API?

Yes. Use this Actor as an unofficial Wellfound API to collect company profiles and download the results as JSON. It is independent of Wellfound. The API section on this page has examples for starting runs from your own code or through the Apify MCP server.

Can I schedule runs or send results to other apps?

Yes. Use Apify schedules for repeat runs and integrations for sending results to tools such as Google Sheets, Zapier, or Make.

No. The output includes company websites and available social profile links, but not email addresses or phone numbers.

Is there a founded date or launch date?

No. These dates are not included in this Actor's output.

Where can I get help with a run?

Open an issue on the Actor's page first and include the run link. You can also email southdionysus@gmail.com.
