Is AngelList good for investing?

I don’t regret using AngelList. It is a good platform, especially next to many of the less-than-reputable crowdfunding sites out there. But I’m not going to put in additional money unless they make some of the funds more accessible or make it easier to invest in an “index” of startups.

How does AngelList make money?

AngelList makes money via Syndicates, a “pop-up” venture capital fund. Also, for fund or syndicate managers, AngelList Venture is a one-stop solution for legal, regulatory, and back-office services. Lastly, AngelList Recruit is a recruitment platform for start-ups of all sizes to fill vacant positions.

You, the founder, select investors from that list that you are interested in speaking to, filtering by attributes like fund type (angel, VC, seed fund…), activity, and location. Every investor you swipe right on receives information about your startup, along with a recommendation from AngelList admins.

What can you do with AngelList if you don’t have a syndicate?

If you opt not to raise a syndicate, you can still build your network by connecting with investors that follow you. AngelList is also a useful platform for anyone looking to get a job at a startup.

What do you need to know about the AngelList?
