Ask HN: Can I get a referral to join AngelList?

5 pointsWantToInvest12 comments

I don't know too many other investors, but I want to start investing in startups. I have another friend that also wants to do the same. We aren't networked with any investors and I don't know three referrals. Would anyone be willing to refer me?

Seriously, you can invest in my start-up if you want. We can even meet-up today if you're around Silicon Valley. I'll do bring my laptop and do my pitch. Best deal ever. Send me an email to citizenkeys@gmail.com !

Sorry, I'm not in silicon valley. I'm in southern California.

Either way, I'm looking to raise seed money at a low valuation. If you have even $5,000 to invest and a proposed term sheet then we're in business. I'm 100% serious.

Hi Citizenkeys,

I've never invested in a startup before. I have no experience with terms sheets. This is why I wanted to join AngelList. I wanted to get acquainted with angel investing through some type of structure.

I'm also a startup in LA, and would just like to connect as I like to reach out with others in the area.

I am working on a startup in huntington beach. Would you like to hear a pitch?

Hi Param,

What's your email? I would like to hear a quick overview of your startup.

Its in my profile, thanks

I looked into this a little bit a few months ago, but have since decided to take the cash I have and bootstrap a new business instead.

These angel things seem to be tricky to get into without help from the inside. And then there's articles about the lack of new angels investing in startups.

What type of startups are you looking for (tech b2b, consumer web, etc.)?

I'm looking for a type of y combinator type startup. I want to invest in a company that has a identifiable business model and plan to get that itself profitable. So, this includes both tech b2b and consumer web.

This would help put you in touch with the right type of investors.
