Frequently asked questions
Can I get only one batch?
Yes. Use the batch filter with a short code like `W21` or a full label like `Winter 2021`. Both formats work.
How do I filter by sector?
Add an industry such as `B2B`, `Fintech`, `Healthcare`, `Consumer` or `Industrials`. Combine it with a keyword or batch to narrow further.
Does every company have a website?
Most active companies do, and it is captured in the **website** field. A few very early or inactive companies may not list one, in which case the field is null.
How fresh is the data?
The directory is read live at run time, so each record reflects the company's public profile at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
