Infrastructure for venture capital and startups
angellist.com (opens in a new tab)AngelList builds the financial infrastructure that makes it easier for more people to invest in startups, aiming to accelerate innovation by increasing how many successful companies get built. It supports over $171 billion in assets and has powered investments into more than 13,000 startups, over 300 of which became unicorns. Running a venture fund conventionally requires accountants, analysts, lawyers and operations staff, which sets a floor on fund size that excludes most people who could invest well — removing that floor is the substance of what AngelList does.
