Angelsoft 3.0 is Angelsoft’s most ambitious release ever. In this special release we aimed to better integrate all the bits and pieces of Angelsoft into one seamless web experience.

This release includes 569 improvements, of which 241 are bug fixes, 12 are new features, and 43 are user experience improvements. You can read the full release notes here. Below are the highlights:


GROUP TOOLS

  • Deal & Member Search - The search bar in the Group Deals list search will now search across ALL application data including business summary, answers to the questionnaire, management, etc. The search bar in the Group Members tab will now search across ALL data from the expanded member profiles including bio, investment interests, and more.

  • All Email Links Clickable - All links should now be “clickable” in all Angelsoft emails, regardless of your email program.

  • Bulk Submissions Protection - To help groups with the growing problem of bulk or “spam” entrepreneur submissions, we now label all deals submitted to more than 3 groups as ‘Bulk,’ and send them to a special Bulk folder under New Submissions. To take a deal out of Bulk, simply move it to another folder.

  • All Members Can Add New Deals - All group members can now add new deals using the same New Deal button that group administrators use. They can also use the New Submissions email.

  • Deal Guests Invitations - When inviting a guest to a deal, the invitation email now includes the name of the deal and a direct link to it.

  • Upcoming Events First - Upcoming Group Events are now sorted from nearest to latest, putting the next event first on the list.

  • Deal List Pagination - Groups with hundreds of deals will be happy to see the new pagination on the Deal List, which shows a max of 50 deals per page and allows for quicker loading and browsing.

  • Movable Dialog Boxes - Pop-up dialog boxes on the Deal Dashboard and elsewhere can now be moved to reveal the text underneath.




THE INVESTOR COMMUNITY

  • Search the Investor Community - Deals in the Investor Community can now be searched by keyword, just like Group Deals.

  • ‘Most Referred’ on the Investor Community - Deals in the Investor Community can now be sorted by “Most Referred,” highlighting the deals that have received the most attention from other groups.

  • Deal Type Dropdown - You can now focus your Investor Community browsing on deals submitted by entrepreneurs, deals posted by Angel Groups, Incubators, VCs, etc. (This depends on the presence of these deals in the Investor Community .)

  • Investor Self-Accreditation - Members are now required to confirm their status as Accredited Investors, or as Group Administrators before they can access the Investor Community , keeping the Investor Community a secure space for accredited investors.

  • The Investor Community Referral Note - When referring a deal from the Investor Community into your group, members can now compose a quick note to group administrators, letting them know why this deal was referred.




PUBLIC WEBSITE INTEGRATION

  • New Top Navigation - The new Top Navigation bar integrates all Angelsoft resources into one seamless experience. Drop-down menus allow quick access to every tool on Angelsoft.

  • Group Finders - The new Group Finder tool allows entrepreneurs to quickly locate and target investment groups in their region or area of expertise and start an application. Accredited investors can also use the Group Finder to locate groups in their area and inquire about membership.

  • Logged Out Demo Pages - When logged out, the new public web site shows demo versions of the different tools, with explanations.

  • Industry Insights - Angelsoft’s position as the exclusive deal management tool to 400+ angel groups and VC’s gives us a unique perspective on the early-stage ecosystem. Our new Industry Insights page gives you a window into some of that activity.

  • Real Activity Map - Angelsoft’s home page now includes a live map of activity happening on Angelsoft in real-time. See it for yourself!

  • Unified Login - All users now have a unified login. Simply login on any page, and we’ll point you to the right tool set for you.


We hope you’ll love the new Angelsoft as much as we do. As always we are eagerly standing by to hear your feedback, requests, and suggestions.
