AngelList is a platform that primarily serves startups, angel investors, and job-seekers looking to work in startups. Founded in 2010 by Naval Ravikant and Babak Nivi, the site began as a way to democratize how startups receive funding and expand their visibility to potential investors. It has since evolved to include AngelList Talent, which connects job seekers with startup employment opportunities, and AngelList Venture, which allows for more streamlined investments in startups via syndicates—groups of investors who pool their resources. The platform is notable for its influence in the startup ecosystem, providing tools and resources that support the growth and operational efficiency of emerging companies across diverse industries.
