# Firecrawl Company Directories

Use this to turn startup or company directories into structured lists.

## Onboarding Interview

Infer the directory, filters, result count, and output format from context. If the source is clear, proceed immediately.

Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the directory URL/name, required filters, or target result count.

## Firecrawl Collection Plan

Use Firecrawl browser when the directory needs filters, pagination, infinite scroll, or profile clicks. Use scrape/map when listings are public and static.

Suggested sources include YC companies, Crunchbase, Product Hunt, G2 categories, or any custom directory URL.

## Extraction Fields

Capture fields that are visible:

- name
- description
- industry/category
- stage/founded/location/team size/funding when visible
- tags
- directory profile URL
- company website URL

Leave unavailable fields blank. Do not infer.

## Final Deliverable

```markdown
# Company Directory Export: [Source]
