Excellent work. Bit confused though, what determines a good choice of a startup, from a bad choice? What is the game dynamic, once invested in a startup?
Every time a startup exits, it'll be marked as a "WIN" on your profile (if you got in early enough). The multiplier will be a best guess from a team of AngelSquare judges.
Humm, seems like a lot of waiting for an exit to happen. Would be interesting if you could do something in-between. Maybe if they get on TechCrunch, ReadWriteWeb, VentureBeat, or other milestones its points?
I think I'd like it better if it presented you with a list of startups to select from. Maybe some nice colorful buttons with the company logo or something that you can click to get more info about each company. You guys could either hand-select some or just show some random companies. That big search box turned me off, cuz I didn't know any companies to enter. You could still keep the search box for people who want it.
Our success criteria matching will reward the first investors in newer companies. People who pick the already "hyped" companies can do ok, but they wont get much return if an exit occurs.
Well, how angel investing should be :) Should reward finding good companies early, giving them some funds to get their valuations high, and have a high multiplier on the exits.

Piling onto known successes (über is given as an example somewhere) is easy and unrealistic (I couldn't get in if I wanted to now.)
