Overview

This actor extracts detailed, structured records for companies listed in the 500 Global portfolio.

Key Features

• Filter-Based Scraping: Works with any portfolio URL on 500.co. Apply filters for tenant, region, industry, or stage directly on the site, then use the resulting URL.
• Comprehensive Company Data: Captures names, descriptions, locations, website, social links, industry tags, business stage, and batch/accelerator program info.
• Founder & Contact Details: Includes founder names and profile links. Can optionally enrich records with professional email addresses.
• Operational Signals: Extracts hiring status (yes/no + open role count) and investment event counts.
• Ready-to-Use Output: Outputs deduplicated, structured data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML via the Apify Dataset, requiring no manual cleanup.
• Scalable: Handles large portfolio pulls or small, targeted jobs efficiently.
