Scraping Yelp and Google Maps for Sourcing

by a professional from Dartmouth College - Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth

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
