Common questions
Does this touch YC's non-public data? +
No. Every field comes from YC's own public search index (the same one the public /companies page queries) or the public HTML of each company's public profile page.
Why no founder email addresses? +
YC doesn't publish them. It gates the real address behind a logged-in "request an intro" flow. We report what's genuinely public: LinkedIn and X/Twitter, plus an optional check for an email the company published on its own site.
How current is the data? +
Fully live. Every run queries YC's index directly at run time. No cached database.
Can I filter multiple batches or industries at once? +
Yes. batch, industries, and tags all accept arrays and are OR'd within each field, then AND'd against each other and against keyword/hiringStatus.
What does it cost? +
Charged once per row actually delivered. A company-only row and a founder row both count as one. Nothing is charged for a filter combination that matches zero companies.
