AngelList platform

AngelList is a prominent American platform designed for startups, angel investors, and job-seekers. Founded in 2010 by Naval Ravikant and Babak Nivi, the platform initially focused on democratizing the fundraising process for startups through syndicated investments. Over time, it evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem that includes venture capital tools, talent recruitment services, and equity management software.

The platform operates primarily as a digital service, with its core development and management based in the United States. In recent years, AngelList has undergone significant structural changes, spinning off its talent division as Wellfound and its equity management division as Carta, while maintaining its focus on providing the infrastructure for the next generation of venture-backed companies. It remains a privately held company headquartered in San Francisco.
