Scrape Startup News → Extract Key Events → Create Investment Pipeline
Automatically monitor startup news for leadership changes, funding events, and company milestones to build a qualified investment or partnership pipeline.
Workflow Steps
Apify
Scrape startup news sources
Configure Apify actors to scrape TechCrunch, VentureBeat, and industry publications for articles containing keywords like 'co-founder leaves', 'executive departure', 'leadership change', or 'funding round'.
OpenAI API
Extract and categorize events
Use GPT-4 via Apify's integration to analyze scraped articles and extract structured data: company name, event type, key people involved, funding stage, and investment opportunity score.
Zapier
Filter high-potential opportunities
Set up Zapier to receive the processed data from Apify and filter for companies that match your investment criteria (funding stage, industry, team changes indicating opportunity).
Notion
Build investment pipeline database
Automatically add qualified opportunities to a Notion database with properties for company details, opportunity type, timeline, assigned analyst, and follow-up status.
Gmail
Send weekly digest to team
Configure Zapier to compile and send a weekly email digest of new opportunities to your investment team, with direct links to the Notion records for easy review and assignment.
