Finding 2023 YC Companies Focused on AI with Funding Success

ยท

I'd like to find YC companies from 2023 and sort by companies that work with AI. Even better if they've gotten funding after being in YC (and not gone under). What's the best way to do that?

    YC has a directory of startups from each batch. Scrape that info, then run a claygent.

    Thank you! I managed to scrape the data using Browse AI and have that in a CSV. I'm not sure how to use Claygents to do this though.

    Simon K. Clay has a browser extension you can use to scrape that information in a structured way. Then, import via CSV to a Clay table (browser extension also has the option to directly move that data to a Clay table). Once you have the data in there, use the clay integration called "Claygent" - it's a combination of a couple models + web search capabilities. In the prompt, tell Claygent to navigate to each YC company domain and evaluate if the company sells an AI product. As for funding, you can use another Claygent prompt to get funding $ and date in a structured manner. Clay also has native data integrations for funding, just type "funding" into the Clay integrations search bar. Hope this helps

    Great suggestions so far Simon K.! Can add that tools like octoprase.com can be awesome when you first need to scrape data and then get that into Clay if the Clay browser extension doesn't work ๐Ÿ™
