Kaszek Ventures LATAM Portfolio Companies Scraper

Scrape the complete Kaszek Ventures portfolio — LATAM's leading venture capital firm. Extracts structured data from each portfolio company's public profile page including company name, tagline, description, founders, location, website, LinkedIn, sector, and investment status.

What it does

Kaszek is the highest-signal LATAM-native VC fund, backing marquee companies like Bitso, Nubank, Kavak, Cornershop, and 99minutos. This actor crawls their public portfolio directory and returns one structured record per company.

Two-stage crawl:

1. Index page (kaszek.com/companies/) — discovers ~120 portfolio company links with sector and status from CSS class names.
2. Detail pages (kaszek.com/company/<slug>/) — extracts full company data: tagline, description, founders, location, website, LinkedIn, logo, and investment info.

Field	Type	Description
company_name	string	Company name
company_slug	string	URL slug (e.g. "bitso")
profile_url	string	Kaszek profile page URL

Notes

• No proxy required — Kaszek's site is a public WordPress install with no anti-bot protection.
• Runs at 5 concurrent requests.
• Companies marked "no-details" on the index page are skipped (no profile page exists for them).
• location_lat and location_lng are always null — the site uses an SVG map illustration, not embedded coordinates.
