Nice work! If investors had the option to 'opt-in' - to show that they actively welcome pitches - that would make it more valuable to both parties than a spreadsheet scraped from LinkedIn. Maybe put a star on their profile, show them first on lists, and allow them some extra categories so they can refine exactly what we are looking for, which saves the startup from wasting their time. Eager to follow your progress!
Hey Scott, thanks for your valuable feedback! We've actually beta tested an opt-in for investors before, but it didn't do quite well - maybe because we didn't execute it well. I think we would need to speak with more investors to see what exactly they want to have on this type of platforms and what are their pain points searching for promising startups.
Our goal is to eventually become a two-sided platform where both investors and founders could search and find each other easily. We are already working on it. Cheers

Angel Match plans start at $99/mo, but we've made a special '30% recurring lifetime discount' for Product Hunt community. Use the code raise_funds at checkout. This code expires in 2 weeks. 😊
We will be here all day if you have any questions or feedback!

Great product! But I think Crunchbase recently added contacts of investors to their website. So you might need to lower your monthly subscription price
I have one query - do you have any filter to stop startups from getting access to all contact of all the investors to prevent spamming of investors' inbox? Filtering of startups can be done before showing investor's contact. This could be useful for investors too.
It is elegant and a lot of work. We all struggle to get investments, and a common challenge is that many databases are not up-to-date. The additional problem is that the lists tend to be very generic. I like the granularity that Angel match offers. If I consider the time required to build such a list, the subscription cost is more than justified. I can use the time instead to start building relations with my preferred investors.
Hi Rodrigo, thank you for valuing our hard work! One of the main questions that we often receive from our users is 'how accurate is our data'. Because obviously, no one wants to pay for an outdated data and for emails that bounce back. So for Angel Match 2.0, we put our focus on improving our data and keeping our emails up-to-date. We also added a 'verified' indicator next to the emails to show that they are valid.
As for the pricing, we absolutely agree with you that it is reasonable. Because if one searches for investors manually, he or she would spend hundreds of hours researching on platforms like Crunchbase, AngelList, LinkedIn, Twitter and other websites. That would cost an opportunity cost, and it would take one's valuable time that could be used for building relationships with investors, as you mentioned. Thanks
Hi David, roughly 50% of the investors are based in the US. The other half are spread all over the world.
We have investors from Canada, UK, India etc.
