Ask HN: How to get into AngelList as an investor?

5 points by RobMcCullough 15y ago ↗ HN

Hello HN, I have a question. I would like to be on Angel List. I am a younger guy without any connections or friends in the VC world. Is there a way to be listed as an investor on Angel List without being endorsed? I feel awkward cold-emailing other investors asking for an endorsement. Would anyone be willing to endorse me on good grace? Thanks!

Do some deals first outside of AngelList, then get endorsements from your co-investors.

What are you interested in investing in... I am sure there are plenty of hungry startups here on HN that would be interested in at least getting the chance to pitch you so they can learn and you can learn.
