What's truly interesting is that ClearAngel is allowing early stage business to compete with Series A level information... Wonder what this is going to look like in 3 yrs?

This is cool. Access to capital at scale. Is it US only? Or international? Didn't see in the FAQ

  We are currently finding Canada, US, UK, AU with more countries coming soon. Good call out, will add to the FAQ.

This is an interesting approach, especially being data oriented I think is really helpful. For example, someone may not be the best at "pitching" traditional investors but may have the numbers to prove it. Which is good to give everybody a shot. How about just pre-revenue businesses who are working towards numbers but have serious promise? Also, what categories like ecommerce vs. Sass etc. I do a lot of stuff with GPT-3 now but could use help depending upon what startup segments are available to get investment.

  We are planning on having a path for pre-revenue by summer, so definitely get on the waitlist. We process the waitlist on a first come, first serve basis. If we think we can help you, we will make you an offer, and give you access to our data-driven next actions / OKRs.

I wonder if they are able to leverage the massive amount of data that Clearbanc must have. If they do they really have an unfair advantage compared to the traditional early stage angel/advisor. Interesting to see how this evolves

  That's the idea. We think that we can really tip the balance for early stage founders. Everyone has a different mountain to climb, we have seen thousands of mountains, and tens of thousands of paths up the different 1000s mountains. We give you a map, and a GPS.
