Who is involved? How is this helpful?

My company is myself and about five other developers and designers. Simply put, we kick ass. We have a great idea, have running code, and are, as a labor of love, making it work.

Now that we're thinking funding would accelerate things even more, what the heck can we do? We don't have advisers, we don't have investors and we don't have contacts.

What we have is a great idea and running code (and decades of development experience), something we're not keen to just broadcast to the world and have another well-funded company say, "Yeah, that IS a good idea, thanks!"

What can AngelList do for ME?

It's simple.

This is what they (investors) want you to do.

Come down to S.V., spend some time there (preferably move), and try to party crash into every tech meetups they have to connect and network. Get their business card, and add them as your facebook/linked in friends.

This is how it used to be and this is how it will still be. Angellist doesn't try to solve this one bit, yet I think.
