There are a lot of options to expand your deal sourcing, like AngelList, syndicates, angel groups, etc. There is no sub-prime market in early-stage investing.

One of the things we hear a lot about in Silicon Valley is how cheap and easy it is to launch a startup these days. No doubt early-stage companies can be started on a shoestring by low-paid entrepreneurs, but when financing a scalable, sustainable product, a free application server won’t make much of a difference.
