Tech Crunch Disrupt was another success this year. Sadly, I didn’t get to go. Myles, Henry and myself entered the TCDisrupt Hackathon last weekend, hoping to crank out something brand new, present it, and get some free tickets. That didn’t happen. There are a few good reasons why we didn’t…

Noticing something about AngelList
caterpillarcowboy:
It’s no longer sufficient to be investment-grade. There are so many investment-grade companies on AL that angels can’t afford to invest in all of the ones they like. So, the rich get richer, and some startups miss out. Interesting dynamic that didn’t exist even 6 months ago.
Also, “proprietary dealflow” is a joke.
