If so, what is it? AngelList? Crunchbase?

What would the distinction be between content offered on HN vs what investors are looking for?
Yes, its called speculation.
If you are individual investor, seekingalpha.com might fit your description.

If you are a professional, I can't see why you would want to critically discuss investments in a public forum.

For me the key element of HN is discussion based on evidence and logic. By that definition (and most others), I consider bogleheads.org to be the best investment site out there.
I recommend the forum, www.bogleheads.org
I browse through www.bogleheads.org from time to time.
For traders - that stuff is regulated, to try and prevent pump & dump scams.
It depends what you're looking for. If it's for discussion then Quora's your best bet, for links Twitter.

That said most investor-type topics are likely to be on-topic on Hacker News as well.

The investor topics on HN likely won't be from an investor's perspective. Quora is quite formal, so you'd get more "investor to general public" posts than "investor to fellow investor" posts.
As befits the culture, the answer is: yes, but it's private, and if you don't already know about it, you can't join.
