What fund managers are saying
Zach Coelius@zachcoeliusAnother superpower is the incredibly quality of the analyst team @angellist hires. They are the backbone of the company and I would never have been able to do 1/10th of this without their amazing support. 24 hours a day they get shit done.
Masha Bucher@mashadrokovaOne of the best experiences I had since a while - @AngelList team helping us out with an SPV and timely wires in the middle of holidays. Kudos to this amazing team!
Shane Feldberg | General Partner VC Feld Ventures@ShaneFelds@AngelList support is tremendous. I’m very impressed.
Responsibly Ventures@ResponsiblyVCShoutout to @AngelList for being an excellent platform -- helping us launch our $10M traditional PreSeed VC Impact Fund under the 506(c) exemption.💚
Joshua Baer ⚙️@JoshuaBaerI love both @angellist and @cartainc but the thing I like better about AL is that they have an abundance mentality and are driving costs down through automation, while C offers low cost to capture market share and then jacks up the prices once they think you are locked in.
Eunice Ajim@euniceajim@ankurnagpal @AngelList I run on AngelList and I love them as my fund admin. They’ve made my life super easy as a first time fund manager.
Wiz 👨🚀@WizLikeWizardOn an email thread with fund admins from Carta and AngelList. Feeling grateful for the level of support we get from @nichole_nguyen and rest of @AngelList 🙃

Fund Managers choose
AngelList over Carta
I have received much better account management from AngelList than I’ve ever received at Carta… I’m really happy about this move
I use AngelList over Carta as my partner because there’s reduced complexity on fund formation and management, which means less work for a solo GP like me.
AngelList’s dashboard makes handling investment-related workflows easy, the team is super responsive, moves fast, and makes it easy to handle new investments.
