I have to agree. I signed up and put as much information as I could about my company, but am now left with an, "Okay, what now?" situation.

We've been banging code for about two years now as a labor of love, and actually have a running system, ready for investment to actually take it out and make something of it. I've been the tech founder a number of times, but this is my first time in the game as both technical lead and business lead, and I'm more than happy to admit that I'm learning as I go.

A site like Angel List would be a great help, because part of taking on investment is also getting experience from the investors. But how do I reach out to them?

And how do I show them what we have without broadcasting it to the world? Because between you and me, what we've built is the kind of thing that I suspect many people would say, "Wow, I can't believe nobody's done that yet!" Sure, the barrier to entry is reasonable, but why give someone else a head start?

Sigh ;)

Just broadcast it. You're overly concerned with secrecy if you're concerned about it at all.
