I built YC-Scraper to create a dataset of all the companies in the Y Combinator directory. In this directory, you can search for companies by industry, region, company size, and more.
Y Combinator is a startup accelerator that has invested in over 4,000 companies that have a combined valuation of over $600B. The overall goal of Y Combinator is to help startups really take off.
Check out the dataset I published on Kaggle.com.
