AngelList – building a founder focused startup platform.

I will present the emergence of AngelList as an online investment platform from what used to be a social network and email list before that. There are many trade offs in the product, weighing of incentives and behaviours that are common offline, but have never been moved online.

One especially interesting point is the impact of regulatory constraints on the product, and how the AngelList team has coped with regulatory requirements and changes despite being a very small team of 15 engineers.
