Track YC Demo Day Companies in Real Time (with code)

Y Combinator Demo Day is the single most concentrated VC sourcing event of the year. Twice annually, ~250 companies present back-to-back over 1-2 days. Within 48 hours, the top 50 have term sheets. Within 7 days, the next 50 have term sheets. By day 14, the remaining 150 are either oversubscribed or starting to struggle.

The associate's job at a multi-stage fund during Demo Day is roughly:

Within 6 hours: scrape every company's details from the YC site

Within 12 hours: triage to the 30-50 worth investigating
