Hi HN, I created a mini project that scrapes every Batch in YC's directory to try to find trends amongst batches. Newer YC startups are showing potential signs of efficiency. Many startups after Batch W22 have few employees, but that could simply be because of their young age. I plan to scrape the data again in the future to see if the trend holds true.


To answer both questions, I'm using Shazam's algorithm through a package called Shazamio. I tried using Pyzam on rominimal.club, and it struggles to recognize songs because they aren't on Shazam's database. It might be worthwhile to make a Shazam for SoundCloud!
