About two weeks ago I put Open Home Pro on AngelList. I’ve learned a lot in two weeks
Below are a few of my observations.
1. Their invite system for investors is brilliant
With fundraising the domino effect happens often. Once you get a few investors on board the rest come. With Angellist you want to have all of your investors listed on your profile with how much each has committed. What this means is I’m inviting all of my investors to the service ASAP in turn getting AngelList more potential investors for the other companies on the service.
2. Both Naval and Thomas are very active with the community
I have shared emails/messages with both Naval and Thomas. Even small things like this to me make all the difference in growing a service. It’s never been easier to talk to your users than it is today and they get that.
3. Your company is not DOA if not shared by AngelList
There is an email list where they’ll share your company out if you meet a particular set of criteria. The reason for Open Home Pro not being shared is I’m not working fulltime on the project and the market being niche. Despite not being emailed out we’ve managed to assemble followers, I’ve done a few calls with angels and have received a good bit of funding so far.
More to come as things progress
