AngelList 101 : As you know, AngelList is a platform where angels can invest in semi-screened tech deals. It should help some entrepreneurs to better access early-stage capital and should allow some angel investors better access to deal flow. In most deals angels have few rights. Social proof can be helpful.

Lawyers can charge as much as $10k-$30k (in the US) to draft and execute the legal docs for an equity round, and traditionally, founders are responsible for paying for this as well as investors’ legal costs! So, in the aggregate, it is possible that you may be required to pay as much as $30k-$50k to get an equity round done.

Angel investors earn higher returns than small VCs, who in turn earn higher returns than large VCs, let alone most other asset classes. But, the traditional wealth management industry does not make fees on angel investing, so it’s an underpublicized opportunity. In aggregate, angels are significant investors.
