Angelsoft is not an investment group

Angelsoft is a software company, we are not an investment group.

Angelsoft is the software tool that runs the Angel Investment industry, and increasingly, the Venture Capital industry. Investors use Angelsoft as the exclusive means of accepting deal flow from entrepreneurs, evaluating which to move forward with, and collaborating between investors and investment groups across our network.

We also built tools for entrepreneurs to access those investors. Entrepreneurs can access the entire early-stage industry for startup funding by applying to the Investor Community. Entrepreneurs can learn more about those tools here.

Applying directly VS Posting to the Investor Community

Group Finder

What it is

Used for finding groups near you and applying to them directly. You can have 3 active applications out at once without being placed in the bulk submission folder. This is a free tool for entrepreneurs to use. Some groups charge a submission fee.

When to use it

It is always a good idea to apply to your local investment groups. Before applying to a group directly, read their website and make sure that you fit their investment criteria.

Investor Community

What it is

Used for posting to the Investor Community within Angelsoft, accessible to all 13,000 investors and 400 Investment Groups that use our platform. Rather than applying directly to a group, posting to the Investor Community allows investors to find you. They browse through deals posted there based on a variety of criteria such as industry, rating, and number of views. The cost to post is $250.

When to use it

If you are looking for broader exposure for your deal, or you have already applied to your local investment groups, then post to the Investor Community .
