Ask HN: Comprehensive List of Startups
what's the best way to find a comprehensive list of startups and as many attributes as possible? U.S. companies only
- ry4n413 10y agohttps://bba.bloomberg.net/?utm_source=bloomberg-menu&utm_medium=bcom https://bba.bloomberg.net/?utm_source=bloomberg-menu&utm_med... What is maximum age and do you have a minimum revenue requirement?
- ata_aman 10y agono revenue filter. but age wise, preferably post 2001-2002 as the date of incorporation/registration.
- tedmiston 10y agoAngelList and/or Crunchbase
- ata_aman 10y agotheir APIs are not as open. and manual is not going to be efficient. I was looking for a massive list
- tedmiston 10y agoTotally just saw your username… small world haha. I wish both had more free API access too. Another thing to consider is most investors and accelerators keep lists on their own sites but very fragmented. Is there specific info you want?
- ata_aman 10y agowas waiting to see if you'd figure it out at some point. but no specific info. at least the basics (year founded, team size, funding, sector) etc... and yeah, going to each investor site would be a nightmare. pretty much impossible. thinking about just asking people to input their info on some form but highly doubt that'd work either.
- tedmiston 10y agoYeah, agreed. If you do find something let me know. I had been searching for similar a few months ago and realized everything I wanted was available from the AngelList + Crunchbase + LinkedIn via APIs (and none had all of what I wanted by themselves), but the cost was prohibitive for my project too. The conclusion I came to was that I'd have to collect the data myself via a network of tiny scrapers.
- ata_aman 10y agoI'm gonna figure something out. stay tuned. I feel like a lot of people are looking for this list.
