AngelList is a platform for startups that allows entrepreneurs to share their startup with potential investors. It provides entrepreneurs, advisors, and Angel investors a digital network to follow startup activity and quickly jump into investment deals with new companies. Entrepreneurs create a startup profile and pick which investors can see their startup, both of which can be updated at any time.
AngelList Syndicates
Recently, AngelList launched AngelList Syndicates. In short, AngelList Syndicates allow any one investor to invite other investors to co-invest with them via the AngelList platform — essentially, forming an Angel investment group. Syndicators allow startups to raise larger amounts of capital while spreading out the risk to each individual investor, creating a win-win situation.
