SeedTable Startup Rankings Scraper

Scrape ranked startup lists from SeedTable — 9,000+ European and global startups across 1,000+ city and country lists. Extracts startup name, industry, location, key people, profile URL, and logo for each ranked company.

What does this actor do?

SeedTable maintains curated lists of the best startups by city and region. This actor:

1. Discovers all city lists from SeedTable's structural sitemap (1,300+ cities worldwide).
2. Scrapes each city's startup rankings via SeedTable's internal JSON API — no HTML parsing required, clean structured data.
3. Enriches each record with key people (founders and decision-makers) from the /api/people endpoint.
4. Returns one row per startup, including name, industry, location, profile link, logo URL, and key people.

Input

Field	Type	Description	Default
maxItems	Integer	Maximum number of startup records to return. Leave empty for a full run.	10
cities	Array	Optional list of city names to filter results (e.g. ["London", "Paris"]). Leave empty to scrape all cities.	["London", "Paris", "Berlin"]

Example input

{
  "maxItems": 100,
  "cities": ["London", "Paris", "Berlin"]
}

To scrape all 9,000+ startups across all cities, set cities to [] (empty array) and maxItems to a large number like 10000.

Output

Each item in the dataset represents one ranked startup:

Field	Description
startup_name	Company name
profile_url	Full URL to the startup's SeedTable profile page
logo_url	URL to the company logo image
industries	Primary industry or sector
location	City and country of the startup
key_people	Founders and key team members (name and title, semicolon-separated)
list_geography	The city or region list this startup appeared in

Example output record

{
  "startup_name": "Revolut",
  "profile_url": "https://www.seedtable.com/startups/revolut",
  "logo_url": "https://cdn.seedtable.com/logos/revolut.png",
  "industries": "Fintech",
  "location": "London, United Kingdom",
  "key_people": "Nikolay Storonsky, CEO; Vlad Yatsenko, CTO",

}

Use cases

• Lead generation — Build targeted lists of funded startups in specific cities or industries.
• Market research — Understand the startup ecosystem in a particular region.
• Competitive intelligence — Track which startups are ranked in your target markets.
• Investor prospecting — Identify high-potential companies with key decision-maker contacts.

Notes

• SeedTable covers primarily European startups but also includes global hubs (New York, Singapore, etc.).
• The key_people field only includes contacts marked as primary contacts or decision-makers by SeedTable — not all team members.
• Some startups may appear in multiple city lists (e.g. a London-based startup with an Amsterdam office). Set maxItems accordingly.
• The actor uses a residential proxy to reliably access SeedTable's API.
