DISQUS

betterpant · 1 year ago

An investor from Harvard Angels reviewed my application but it did not increase the # of total reviews. Why? Registered/Logged On: Uro Concepts Inc.

Betterpant,

The Views number at the top of your Application Monitor only refers to the Investor Community. Views from a group you applied to directly are shown in your newsfeed, but are not tallied at the top.

May I view any of the favorable reviews?

How do I add more applications without costs.

We got a email that an investor wanted to contact us re our business. How do we know if this is a legitimate inquiry before we pay the $250? We also got another inquiry through you from Texas Investment Network - would we have to pay the $250 fee at your end and the $199 fee at their end to find out more about this investor? I thought it was usually better to have local rather than out of state investors since the out of state issue makes it less likely they will invest. Is this true?

Hi Sandra,

Angelsoft is not affiliated with the Texas Investment Network. They do not use our platform. That website has many clones which you can find by changing the state portion of their domain name to some other state (for example Florida Investment Network, New York Investment Network etc.). They all look to be set up by the same company.

The problem is, in 3 years at Angelsoft, attending events all over the country and working with all the legitimate angel groups in the US, I have never met anyone who utilizes those websites or knows who runs them. If you have submitted your funding request on Angelsoft, we charge 250 dollars per month to be listed to all of the angel groups who use Angelsoft. To find the local angel groups in Texas who use Angelsoft go to our group search page and type "Texas" in the search field by location. The group finder is here:

http://angelsoft.net/entrepreneurs/angel-invest...

Some of these groups have application fees if you apply to them directly. Some of them do not. Most groups who will not charge an additional application fee if you have already paid us $250 to be listed in the Investor Community.

Best of luck in your funding search,
Ryan

Would love to recieve feedback from the investors which reviewed my application and therefor make changes if need be. What do others think?

Jamie37 · 8 months ago

I agree. I am a lifetime entrepreneur with many successful small business start-ups under my belt but would still very much like to see investor feedback, either good or bad.

Jschwa · 6 months ago

Aweinstock,

I understand how important feedback can be to entrepreneurs, and we have done everything in our power to encourage investors to give it to you. You can read about the tools they have to provide you feedback: http://angelsoft.net/blog/2008/07/08/ratings-re..., which includes written comments.

The Angelsoft community is made up of real investors, not employees. While this is great for entrepreneurs looking for funding, it also means that we cannot require them to provide feedback.

Jamie37 · 8 months ago

I received 4 views with 1 thumbs down, with no comment? We welcome feedback even if it is negative so it is a bit frustrating that no feedback was left as to why the thumbs down?

Jamie37,

I understand your frustration, see my comment above to Aweinstock.

AngelSoft: We are new to the site and have recently posted our application. So far the process has been exciting. My question is about the news feed, which is the main area we look at when we log on. Is there a way to delete the "Draft Saved" feeds? While it is nice to see when I last saved my application, it is somewhat redundant and not necessarily pertinent to the "news feed". Maybe there can be a specific area for that. Personally, I think the news feed should pertain only to the community and group activity relating to my application. Also, there have been times when I want to review my application and not necessarily make any changes. I think there needs to be a "Close without saving" option on there, so we don't get the message: "You have made changes to this application since you last submitted".

- Just thought I would ask a question and offer some feedback.

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,

This is great feedback, I will bring it up to our product team. Thank you for taking the time to write us.

Nullgrav Corporation has had a great response with this site and although we still have a ways to go we remain optimistic we can get the funding we need. Thanks Angelsoft, Nullgrav VP, Ed Janisse

Hi Ed,

I'm glad you have found our tools useful. Good luck with your funding search.

Is this information here real because it just seems as if John Doe never contacted me and I have no idea where my investors tab is.

judith · 6 months ago

Some angels have looked at my start up but have not offered comments, as I see it.
Where do I pick up there comments -- like thumbs up? Or do they email me?
Thank you,
Judith

Jschwa · 6 months ago

Hi Judith,

Comments will be listed on the right hand side of your Application Monitor in your Newsfeed. You will be able to reply once to each comment. You can read more about that here: http://angelsoft.net/blog/2008/07/08/ratings-re...

I recently submitted an application for the Startup competition. Is there a way to know whether the investors who viewed it are part of the competition judging panel? Is it available to other Angelsoft investors at this time, or just those judging the competition?

catus1 · 5 months ago

I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it’s not about the individual but it can be with everyone.

Do investors always have to give a Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down? Or can they reject an application without rating it?

alexisangelsoft · 1 month ago

Dear Pearce,
The Thumbs up/down system is only for our Open Deal feature. It is a voluntary choice made by the investor to give any feedback, good or bad on a deal.
