There should be a high bar for competence and business value to raise (large amounts of) money, but a lot of the ways the investment process is hard have nothing to do with that -- and things like YC, angels, angellist, etc. are addressing those inefficiencies.

If I were an angel in Montana, having access to the best deals globally would be a lot more attractive than trying to get into all 3 tech startups in Montana in a given decade. It's a lot easier to interact with businesses and founders online, and then to make an investment, than it used to be.
