I feel like AngelList is a specialized social network with maximum utility ~10 years ago and for people who already know each other or are clearly in the same network, who basically use it as a less-spammy LinkedIn. I've had zero luck communicating with people over it and have frankly given up in favor of raising domestically here in China.

"less-spammy" is not how I would describe AngelList. Unfortunately, if you, as a user, allow it to access your email addressbook, it then starts regularly (days apart) spamming each address.
Good point. It's amazing what companies do under terms of service in the US.
I'm currently working on a company that could just as easily start in China as the US: anything you can share regarding where and how to find investors? No "Chinese AngelList"?
There are many local networks. We are currently in touch with a few, and may even start one as an adjunct to the current round's raising process. I've sent you an email.
