So if I wanted to wish my mother a Happy Birthday, AngleList would be a good way to do that? How about if I wanted to offer all the angels on the list a deal on certain mortgage-backed assets left over from the housing bubble? Of course not. And the reason is that AngleList is email from specific kinds of people to specific kinds of people for a specific purpose. It's only useful because it filters out communication that doesn't fit the philosophy. If you have a different philosophy, if your purpose is different from that of AngleList, well, why participate?
