I'm confused by AngelList's corporate structure. Venture is a separate company that raises money on its own, ProductHunt belongs to a separate holding company[0] — what even is "AngelList" now? [0]: https://writings.prologue.xyz/introducing-prologue/

Add Republic( https://republic.com/ )

I wasn’t aware that they owned Republic — they’re just an investor, I think.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Link?

this is correct. I interviewed with the company that raised in the fall. They are working purely on products and services for venture capital and those participating in it. Some VCs have been raving about how great these products are on twitter. I'm not a VC so I don't have a strong opinion or really anything qualified to say on how viable or worthwhile they are, though.

They're better than Gust. Many investors I know are technical and I'm surprised at the lack of BPA in the Angel/VC space.

BPA=Business Process Automation

I am still salty about a ban AngelList applied on my profile after I reported a (supposedly) CEO of a Los Angeles startup for insulting me when I rejected an invitation to join them. Instead of banning this person’s account, they banned mine.

there is a little miscommunication. I got an automated message saying 'lots of people are intersted in your profile, we'd love to promote it', but the person in charge of that really thought my profile was garbage and didn't want to. ok, your choice...1 week later the same message

40x valuation seems crazy, even in 2022. Is this the new norm, or is AngelList Venture an exception?

angellist is a money printer and solves a great problem...

Same kind of feedback here though I wasn't banned, my complaint was just ignored.

speaks to their customer support acumen

hi - CEO of AngelList Talent here. Sorry about that. Could you email me at amit@angel.co and I can get it sorted

I decided to send an email to invest@angel.co instead, requesting deletion of my personal information based on Art. 17 GDPR - Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten'). Rick Segers promptly confirmed that my profile had just been deleted following my request. That is good and all, but I would have liked more the same level of responsiveness 1.5 years ago when I reported the insults from the alleged CEO.
