Scrape Signal NFX (signal.nfx.com) investor profiles across 32,000+ VCs, angels and scouts. Search investor lists and extract names, firms, LinkedIn, Crunchbase and X profiles; check sizes, seniority, locations, investment sectors, education and investment history.

What Signal NFX Scraper can do

Three ways in. Walk the site's curated investor lists (Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, Series B across 100+ industries and locations), query the full investor database by name, firm, check size, seniority or lead-investor status, or paste investor, firm and list links directly.
Rich profiles, not just names. With full profiles on, every investor ships a headline, education (degree, field, school), recent investment history (company, stage, amount, date), media mentions, fund size and profile vote count.
Every link the site publishes. Rows carry LinkedIn, Crunchbase, X/Twitter, Wellfound and personal site URLs, plus profile and firm links on the site itself.
Filter the way the site filters. Stage, industry and location for lists; name, check size range, seniority, lead-only, industry and location for search.
Built for monitoring. Resume an interrupted run, or schedule incremental runs that deliver only new and changed investors. Unchanged records are not billed.
Delivers anywhere. Standard dataset views for investors, firms and incremental changes, plus optional delivery into Notion, Airtable and Linear via MCP connectors.

Ways to use this data

Fundraisers: build a targeted investor list by stage, industry, location and check size, with the exact profile links for outreach.
Investors and scouts: monitor other funds on a schedule: new investments, new partners, changed check sizes, delivered incrementally.
Recruiters and BD teams: map the venture market by seniority, from General Partner to Associate, with firm fund sizes.
Analysts: quantify the landscape: who invests in AI pre-seed in London, who leads seed rounds in fintech, who co-invests with whom.

Questions about this actor

What data does Signal NFX Scraper return?

The documented output for Signal NFX Scraper includes name, headline, firm, seniority, linkedin, crunchbaseurl, twitterurl and angellisturl. Availability of each field depends on the source page and the selected mode.

How much does Signal NFX Scraper cost?

It costs $2.20 per 1,000 results on the Apify Free plan and from $1.70 on paid plans, with smaller per-run or optional feature charges listed on Apify. The Apify listing shows the current rate for every plan.

Can I get only new or changed investors on a schedule?

Yes. Schedule the actor from the Schedules tab and turn on Incremental mode. Each run then returns only new and updated records, and unchanged ones are not billed.

Which links can I paste in Direct links mode?

Investor profile links (signal.nfx.com/investors/), firm links (signal.nfx.com/firms/), and investor-list links both ways: the long form you see in the address bar (signal.nfx.com/investor-lists/top-fintech-seed-investors) and the short catalog form (fintech-seed). Non-investor pages (the home page, FAQ, onboarding) are skipped with a note in the log.

Why did my run fail instead of returning an empty dataset?

If every read was refused, the run fails with a clear message rather than pretending nothing matched: retry in a few minutes. A genuinely empty result (a search with no matches) succeeds with zero records.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP?

Yes. Every Apify actor is available as an MCP server: add https://mcp.apify.com to your MCP client with an Apify token, and call this actor as a tool. The Send results into your apps section can also deliver results into Notion, Airtable, Linear and more after each run.
