I see quite outdated data. Anthropic listed with valuation 18B and latest round at 4b? Just to compare, their real latest round was 65b with valuation 965b.

hey just checked the pipeline after running, the anthropic profile looks better now. (I will roll out more updates in the next few days to keep improving accuracy)

I wonder why there are No Micro Companies Yet on the platform?

micro companies aren't added by me, people submit their own, then I go in and approve, haven't gotten any submissions yet, when I do I'll add them in.

I’ve been trying to submit but hit an error about the string format not being correct. It doesn’t give any indication on which string is wrong.

0 for 10 on some startups (large and small, YC and not) that came to mind. It's easy to scrape YC startups from https://www.ycombinator.com/companies . Scrape that and a dozen other investors' portfolio pages and you'll have a useful fraction of startups.

Sounds good! its just I used up most of my API key limits in development, and I'm keeping some so I can run improvement pipelines or fix errors, so il batch the YC companies day by day, there's 5000 companies, so il do about 800 each day for 5-6 days.

Wait, why would you use (tokens?) on a routine scrape job? Just make a generic parser (vibe-coded or by hand, I don’t think it'll be that hard), then run it across the company list.

Or are you talking about some other API?

Mobile view is not working on my iPhone. Scroll is messed up and the page is not properly fitting in the view.

Notice this too. Also the animations might be too much for mobile. Consider just listing the cards without them moving horizontally.
