A primer for fundraising on Angel List
thehalltruth.coThanks for posting this. I'm glad to see you talk about the nuts and bolts of fund raising in such an open way. This is great. I'm impressed by your management skills as well, which is no doubt an indicator of your success.
Thanks for posting this! As a pre-beta startup, AL looks like an interesting way to generate funding, but using it effectively is a bit baffling.
C'est la vie. My big concern now is getting customers, not funding.
Great article, though this strategy (as well as AL) is not of much use for first-time & pre-traction entrepreneurs.
Of course it is. I know tons of first-timers who've used AL effectively.
You mention getting intros from your network. A first-timer is probably less likely to have people in their network who could introduce them to a VC, although they may have a large network. Accelerators like Y Combinator seem to solve this problem, but what about those outside of the accelerators?
