Show HN: Virtual Angel Investing market (built on AngelList)
- railsjedi 15y agoTeam of 3 built this as a 24hour project for AngelHack.com. Judging starts in half hour! Wish us luck. As you can see, we heavily exploited the Twitter Bootstrap css framework :).
- fredwu 15y agoNice work Jacques! :)
- jakemiller 15y agoLoving how easy it is to manage virtual investments on AngelLists. Following a startup only takes you so far
- moge 15y agoSweet, hope the demo goes well!
- scottmcleod 15y agoThanks-Start in an hour and fifteen..Probably will be live #angelhacksf
- jcdavison 15y agocool concept
- cfontes 15y agoWould be nice to be able to use it without signing in...
- railsjedi 15y agoYep, you can! Any url on AngelList works on AngelSquare e.g. http://angelsq.co/uber-1 http://angelsq.co/uber-1
- rglover 15y agoDepeche Mode fan?
- nodesocket 15y agoExcellent work. Bit confused though, what determines a good choice of a startup, from a bad choice? What is the game dynamic, once invested in a startup?
- railsjedi 15y agoEvery time a startup exits, it'll be marked as a "WIN" on your profile (if you got in early enough). The multiplier will be a best guess from a team of AngelSquare judges.
- nodesocket 15y agoHumm, seems like a lot of waiting for an exit to happen. Would be interesting if you could do something in-between. Maybe if they get on TechCrunch, ReadWriteWeb, VentureBeat, or other milestones its points?
- railsjedi 15y agoI love the idea. What if we had 5 startup picks a day, and if one of those startups is in your list, you get a reward? (more $$$ to invest)
- ryanewing 15y agoSleek and simple interface. Nice work guys!
- scottmcleod 15y agoThanks Ryan-Cheers to #Seattle
- jdp23 15y agoRotisserie Angel Investing!
- wylie 15y agoWait, someone took this game I built for TechCrunch Disrupt seriously? http://venturecrapital.us http://venturecrapital.us
- railsjedi 15y agoyou were most definitely our inspiration!
- JesseAldridge 15y agoI think I'd like it better if it presented you with a list of startups to select from. Maybe some nice colorful buttons with the company logo or something that you can click to get more info about each company. You guys could either hand-select some or just show some random companies. That big search box turned me off, cuz I didn't know any companies to enter. You could still keep the search box for people who want it.
- joshu 15y agoWouldn't it be better if you could only "angel" before the company closes an actual angel round? Piling onto known successes (über is given as an example somewhere) is easy and unrealistic (I couldn't get in if I wanted to now.)
- railsjedi 15y agoOur success criteria matching will reward the first investors in newer companies. People who pick the already "hyped" companies can do ok, but they wont get much return if an exit occurs.
- sesh00 15y agoI'd love a way to see what other people are investing in, and perhaps follow their investments.
