Hey fellow Searchfunders,

I'm Azhar, venture investor and software engineer. A good friend of mine asked me to help him scrape Yelp and Google Maps data in certain locations to source businesses with their ratings, reviews, and other metadata. He recommended I post on here given many others may also find a tool like this useful. Let me know if you'd want access.

Best,
Azhar

Likewise, my software startup RightBid has collected data from over 300 sites including the aforementioned sites. We've worked with 20+ PE firms and our work can be applied for searchers too (for instance we've put together lists of business brokers). Everything is customized. Let me know if you ever have any questions redacted

Yes, please. Especially if you can overlap with company size data from somewhere (Assuming most of these will be mom and pops)
