Using the ACA directory?
The ACA directory points you to angel groups, and you apply to each one on its own site. Individual angels aren't listed, for privacy reasons. With Angel Match, you can reach angels directly:
- Filter investors by location, industry, stage and past investments, and see their emails and phone numbers.
- Email them and follow up for free, without exporting your list.
- Track replies in Inbox and see which investors opened your deck.
