YC S24 Demo Day is around the corner. We built a tool to help investors prepare for it. We parsed 240+ company profiles from YC’s website, founder LinkedIns, company homepages (including images), YouTube, etc.

Hello Product Hunt, YC S24 Demo Day is around the corner. We built a tool to help investors prepare for it. We parsed 240+ company profiles from YC’s website, founder LinkedIns, company homepages (including images), YouTube, etc. Now you can ask questions like “Which YC S24 startups were founded by serial founders?”, “How many startups in this batch were founded by Stanford alumni?”, etc. The tool provides a quick short (yet typically incomplete) answer. You also have an option to get a deeply researched “pro” answer which is more complete, but might not be 100% accurate (and takes more time). Thanks to our friend - Serik Kaldykulov (founder, Elefund) - for sharing the idea for this app. Looking forward to hear what you think.

Great tool for investors! Would be amazing to give additional data points from the market, to beat crunchbase.

@talmaco yes, that’d be great! thanks for your feedback!

Congrats on the launch! Already excited to see how it goes from here – can imagine how useful it can be (both for founders and investors) having this for all of the companies on crunchbase, all historical YC companies data! Rooting for you!

@nugmanoff thank you bro!

Looks great! A good tool for trend tracking and data analytics. Btw, this tool is also useful for future startups. All wants to know the success stats. Congrats on the launch, guys!

Is it just for YC companies or it will extend beyond YC and more like Crunchbase? Looks good though, congratulations on the launch!
Arman Suleimenov
@pradhumn_vijayvargiya Thank you, Pradhumn! Just YC S24 companies for now. All great ideas. More soon!
Lucas Benjamin Foster
Congrats on this launch! This tool sounds super useful for investors and those diving into YC startups. I’m curious - do you support any other accelerators or programs outside of YC, or plan to? Would be cool to see this expanded.
Arman Suleimenov
@lucasbenjaminfoster Thank you, Lucas. Wonderful ideas. No support for now. But would love to expand what we have!

This tool is a fantastic resource for investors prepping for YC S24 Demo Day! The ability to quickly query information like serial founders and alumni networks is incredibly useful for making informed decisions. I also appreciate the option for a more detailed, researched answer, which adds depth to the insights while balancing speed. I’m the founder of Toolful.ai, and I’ve already added this tool to our curated list of essential resources for investors. You can check it out here: https://toolful.ai/t/nfactorial-ai. Great work – looking forward to seeing how this continues to evolves.

Zoe Vivian Thornton
No problem at all,@suleimenov No problem at all! I'm happy you appreciated the words, and I’ll be excited to stay updated with everything. Keep me posted!Keep me posted.

Okay, now this looks interesting. The data parsing feature is great. A few questions - - Can investors filter startups by specific criteria like industry or funding stage? - What's the accuracy rate of the 'pro' answers? - How often is the data updated? Anyway, good luck for your launch!
Arman Suleimenov
@davidcarter Thank you, David. 1) Yes, absolutely; 2) "Pro" is a thorough answer with a minor hallucination as we use GPT-4o mini for speed / price; 3) Will be updating the data regularly until YC Demo Day.
Jasmine Clarke
The comprehensive approach is exactly what’s needed in today’s fast-moving investment landscape. Great work!
Nurdaulet  Bolatov
@jasminec exactly, the more comprehensive research the better returns on investment!
