The New Entrepreneur Newsfeed gives you even more visibility into the funding process, and how your application is being judged and evaluated.

Here is a guide to better understand what each news item means:

- Investor comment on Community:
An investor has posted a comment on your Community deal wall and chose to share it with you. This comment is available to all investors on the Angelsoft Investor Community. You may reply to this comment just once, and it will be posted right below the investors comments for all investors to see.

- An Investor gave your application a Thumbs Up:
Investors on the community can moderate deals Up or Down. You can see your total ratings from investors, including your current relative position among community deals.

- An Investor gave your application a Thumbs Down:
An investor has rejected your deal by giving it a thumbs down. This will affect your relative position in the community negatively, however positive ratings can cancel the negative ones out. Again, you can see how it affects your relative position right on your Investor Community box on the top left.

- An Investor has reviewed your application:
An investor has clicked on your application and read it over

- New Investment: $100,000 from John Doe, East Coast Angels
An investor has committed funds to your deal

- New Investor: John Doe, East Coast Angels
An investor has expressed interest in funding your deal, but has not entered an investment amount.

- Invitation: Screening Event 2008:
An investment group has invited you to an event. Clicking on the event name will link you to the details

- Referred from Acme Angels to East Coast Angels:
Angelsoft is a network and groups will often share deals between them. This is called a referral. When your deal is referred, it is sent to the second group as if you had applied to that group directly. A new application will show up on your My Applications tab.

- East Coast Angels invited Acme Angels to collaborate:
To finish out a round of financing, Angel Groups often need to collaborate on a deal, or co-invest. When this happens, Group B is invited into Group A’s deal room. In this case, you will not see a new application on your My Applications tab

- A member of East Coast Angels has referred your application to his group:
Congratulations! An investor has referred your deal from the Investor Community to his investment group for further review.

- Investment Terms updated by John Doe:
An investor has made changes to the investment terms, which can be viewed on the My Investors Tab

- Application posted to the Investor Community by John Doe:
The Investor Community is a feature inside Angelsoft. Investors post deals there when they are looking for outside investors to finish out a round. Applications posted by investors are labeled differently than those posted by entrepreneurs.
