Supercharge Your Prospecting with Instant Data Scraper + Extruct AI

If you've ever found yourself manually copy-pasting data from dozens of web pages into a spreadsheet, you're not alone. Many salespeople and business development teams still rely on tedious workflows to build target lists – especially when searching for startups, vendors, or niche players outside traditional databases. That's where the combination of Instant Data Scraper and Extruct AI comes in: a fast, flexible stack for surfacing qualified leads from anywhere on the web.

What is Instant Data Scraper?

Instant Data Scraper is a free Chrome extension with over 1,000,000 users, a 4.9-star rating, and more than 5,500 reviews – making it by far the most popular (and free!) scraping extension available today. It's dead simple and does its job extremely well.

Instant Data Scraper allows you to quickly extract structured data from web pages without writing any code. It automatically detects HTML tables and lists, letting you export results to CSV or Excel in seconds. Whether you're browsing conference websites, startup directories, or LinkedIn search results, it turns unstructured content into usable datasets instantly.

Where Instant Data Scraper Falls Short

While the tool is perfect for quick grabs of structured data, it has limitations:

• It only works page-by-page and can't navigate across links.
• You're limited to the information available directly on the webpage.
• It doesn't enrich, validate, or score leads based on your specific use case.

Most often, you'll need additional data points unique to your investment or sales thesis. That's where Extruct AI comes in.

How Extruct AI Complements It

Extruct AI lets you run deep research on companies at scale using natural language prompts. Once you have a raw dataset from Instant Data Scraper (e.g. a list of company names or domains), you can feed it into Extruct AI to:

• Enrich each company with the exact data points you care about (e.g. "What vertical are they in?", "Do they have AI/ML talent on the team?", "Who are their customers?").
• Score and filter based on your thesis (e.g. "B2B SaaS companies with < $10M ARR and recent funding").
• Sync enriched results into your CRM, Slack, or database.

Investor & Sales Use Case: Scraping Conference Participants

Let's say you want to find top-fit companies from an event like 4YFN 2025.

1. Use Instant Data Scraper to extract the full list of exhibitors from the event site.
2. Feed the raw list into Extruct AI.
3. Ask Extruct: "Which of these companies are early-stage SaaS startups focused on developer tools? Show HQ country, funding stage, and founder LinkedIn."
4. Export your tailored shortlist to CSV or sync it directly with your outreach tools.

We used this exact workflow to scrape and enrich over 1,000 participants of the 4YFN 2025 conference. The results are live here: https://www.extruct.ai/data-room/4yfn-exhibitors/

Why This Matters

This combo is a game-changer for proactive sourcing. It gives you control over your discovery process, especially in fast-moving or under-indexed markets. Instead of waiting for platforms like Crunchbase or PitchBook to catch up, you can build your own dynamic datasets from the open web – and enrich them instantly.

If you're running outbound sales campaigns, scouting startups, or mapping emerging markets, Instant Data Scraper + Extruct AI is the prospecting stack you didn't know you needed.
