It’s the AngelList centi-sesquicentennial and we want to share some stats with you. After 1.5 years, AngelList has seen…
- 8,000 intros. An investor has asked for an intro to a startup on AngelList over 8,000 times.
- 400 investments. A startup has been introduced to an investor and subsequently closed that investor over 400 times.
- 8 acquisitions. At least 8 startups on AngelList have been acquired.
But who are these fine folks?
- Closed investors include Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins, CRV, Dave Morin, Mitch Kapor, Matt Mullenweg and 200 others
- Startups include Uber, Getaround, Storenvy, Wanderfly, Yipit and 200 others
- Acquirers include Twitter, Google, Facebook, eBay and LinkedIn
See all the startups and the investors they’ve closed here.
This is the data that the startups and investors have kindly reported. The actual numbers are probably 25%-100% higher (especially the investments). We don’t have data on every single intro, investment, or acquisition. For example, startups don’t always add investors to their profiles (hint).
Top markets and locations
The top 5 markets are Mobile, E-Commerce, SaaS, Digital Media and Education. And the top 5 locations are Silicon Valley, New York, Los Angeles, London and Chicago.
Rock on, please get in touch if you have any questions. And thanks to Colleen at GigaOM, Pascal at Business Insider, Jolie at VentureBeat and Brad Feld for the coverage.

Congratulations! to more good results!
Congrats! It’s just getting started!
Sensational! This is great and gives so much power to the community.
Besides, any public number about how many startups applied during these 1 1/2 years?
Pretty amazing stats guys, congrats! Now if only I could find a brand name lead investor for my angel round, I would be all over your network!
Amazing. Phenomenon. “Momentum begets momentum”…at this rate, it won’t be long before AL launches a hostile takeover of NASDAQ. 🙂
AngelList is the best thing that ever happened to angel investing, and you can quote me on that.
Great news, guys! Congratulations on the amazing success.
congrats on a great year guys… now get back to work, dammit 🙂
(seriously, what an amazing year!)

Hard to believe it’s only been 1 1/2 years, and AngelList is already an institution. Congrats to the AL team (and I’m not talking about the Oakland A’s here)!
Congrats. That’s awesome.
All I can say is YUMMY what a great idea and a great site.
Congrats. The great thing is that it is making a huge difference!
That’s awesome. Just created a profile for my startup on Angel.co a few days ago 🙂
Some people are probably surprised that education figured on the list of top markets, but it’s a market that I am convinced, will, in upcoming years, be right alongside commerce and mobile.
I’m just really digging into the Angel.co platform, but as the founder of a new tech startup, it is definitely inspiring to be part of such a vibrant community of people after the same or similar goals.
Kudos.
my Question:
Is focus of angel list only on US based startups or can EU startups get intro and fund?
