A primer for fundraising on Angel List
- beat 13y agoThanks for posting this! As a pre-beta startup, AL looks like an interesting way to generate funding, but using it effectively is a bit baffling. C'est la vie. My big concern now is getting customers, not funding.
- wellboy 13y agoGreat article, though this strategy (as well as AL) is not of much use for first-time & pre-traction entrepreneurs.
- ahall 13y agoOf course it is. I know tons of first-timers who've used AL effectively.
- alloftheabove 13y agoYou mention getting intros from your network. A first-timer is probably less likely to have people in their network who could introduce them to a VC, although they may have a large network. Accelerators like Y Combinator seem to solve this problem, but what about those outside of the accelerators?
