Only a fraction of angel investors join angel groups, but we now have active angel organizations in every state in this great nation!

I think it is a great tool to connect those who has money and wants to make the right investment and those who has ideas but needs money for their implementation. I guess AngelList’s popularity will raise each day – it’s a really great opportunity for both sides.

It doesn’t matter who did it first or how many rivals it has. I just have to find it useful :-)

I have looked myself and it’s hard to choose who to pitch sometimes and this should make it much clearer.

Also is the app of the day an advert? because it’s not correct there are loads of options to getting business cards into a digital format, cloudcontacts.com comes to mind as they were the first I saw doing this.
