Scrape Wellfound startup company profiles

Given a Wellfound `company` (slug like `stripe` or a wellfound.com/company/<slug> URL), returns its profile: `name`, `tagline`, `description`, `website` and social links, `companySize`, `stage`, `badges`, `markets`, `locations`, `companyTypes`, `hiring`, `openJobs` with `openJobsByRole`, `totalRaised`, `fundingRounds` (`type`, `date`, `valuation`), `founders` (name, profile URL, role, bio, location), `teamMembersCount`, `perks`, `media`, the first open `jobs` (with `jobsTotal`) and `similarCompanies`. Company profiles sit behind a Cloudflare challenge, so a call can take up to about a minute. `mode=search` lists Wellfound's startup directory by `location` or `industry` (10 companies per page, paged up to `max_results`) with website, description, markets, locations and open-job counts. Billed one unit per page fetched (`pagesFetched`).
