Sounds like some obscure medical or wellness company. I sure will quickly forget the name and thus the website.

  No judgment on goodness of the name, but some feedback... Even as I saw the "found" (as in founding a company), I insta-associated to health&wellness space, and then to Wealthfront. When I later saw the name written again, I got the "well-founded" semi-pun association. I too thought it's non-memorable, until the "well-founded" association. I'll have to work on pronunciation; by default, comes out as "welf-hound". I suppose the name will become familiar as we see it used. And I'm a little glad I won't have to decide whether to say "AngelList" or "angel.co" when referring to the site.

  yeah, very weird. We've made a couple of really really good hires off of Angellist over the years, and although we didn't get too many overall leads from them, I always had this at the back of my mind, angellist=startups=startup hire leads. This, on the other hand, is instantly forgettable. Just killed a good brand, weird.

    Our sister company, AngelList Venture, continues on as AngeList. With the spin out, we chose a name that embodied a spirit of discovery and finding what's next.

      I get the idea. But it would immensely help discovery if your name was easily discoverable.
