AngelList

AngelList is an American software company founded in 2010 by Naval Ravikant and Babak Nivi. Initially, it served as an online introduction board designed to connect tech startups with angel investors for seed funding. Since 2015, the platform has enabled startups to raise capital from angel investors free of charge. Avlok Kohli has been the CEO of AngelList since 2019.

The company's mission is to accelerate innovation by providing startups and investors with the necessary tools to launch, scale, and invest in ventures. AngelList aims to democratize the investment process and streamline fundraising for startups. Over the years, AngelList has evolved from a simple matchmaking platform into a comprehensive infrastructure provider for the startup economy. It offers a suite of services and software for the venture capital and private equity sectors, including tools for venture fund management, rolling fund administration, syndicate capital raising, and equity management solutions for high-growth companies. The platform is designed to streamline fund management and investor relations, featuring cap table automation, investor onboarding, and portfolio management. AngelList also operates Product Hunt, a platform for product discovery, and Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent), a recruiting platform connecting talent with startups. The company supports a significant amount of assets on its platform and has facilitated investments in numerous startups, including many that have achieved unicorn status. AngelList has expanded its services globally, including to India, the UK, and Canada. The company generates revenue through administrative fees for fund management, broker fees for facilitating investments, and SaaS fees for cap table management.
