Newsfeed for Entrepreneurs: Refreshed
The New Entrepreneur Newsfeed gives you even more visibility into the funding process, and how your application is being judged and evaluated.
Here is a guide to better understand what each news item means:
- Investor comment on Community:
An investor has posted a comment on your Community deal wall and chose to share it with you. This comment is available to all investors on the Angelsoft Investor Community. You may reply to this comment just once, and it will be posted right below the investors comments for all investors to see.
- An Investor gave your application a Thumbs Up:
Investors on the community can moderate deals Up or Down. You can see your total ratings from investors, including your current relative position among community deals.
- An Investor gave your application a Thumbs Down:
An investor has rejected your deal by giving it a thumbs down. This will affect your relative position in the community negatively, however positive ratings can cancel the negative ones out. Again, you can see how it affects your relative position right on your Investor Community box on the top left.
- An Investor has viewed your Open Deals application:
An investor has clicked on your application and read it over
- New Investment: $100,000 from John Doe, East Coast Angels
An investor has committed funds to your deal
- New Investor: John Doe, East Coast Angels
An investor has expressed interest in funding your deal, but has not entered an investment amount.
- Invitation: Screening Event 2008:
An investment group has invited you to an event. Clicking on the event name will link you to the details
- Referred from Acme Angels to East Coast Angels:
Angelsoft is a network and groups will often share deals between them. This is called a referral. When your deal is referred, it is sent to the second group as if you had applied to that group directly. A new application will show up on your My Applications tab.
- East Coast Angels invited Acme Angels to collaborate:
To finish out a round of financing, Angel Groups often need to collaborate on a deal, or co-invest. When this happens, Group B is invited into Group A’s deal room. In this case, you will not see a new application on your My Applications tab
- A member of East Coast Angels has referred your application to his group:
Congratulations! An investor has referred your deal from the Investor Community to his investment group for further review.
- An investor has viewed your [group name] application:An investor from the designated group has clicked on your application and read it over.
- Application posted to the Investor Community by John Doe:
The Investor Community is a feature inside Angelsoft. Investors post deals there when they are looking for outside investors to finish out a round. Applications posted by investors are labeled differently than those posted by entrepreneurs.

The Thumbs up/down system is only for our Open Deal feature. It is a voluntary choice made by the investor to give any feedback, good or bad on a deal.

I understand how important feedback can be to entrepreneurs, and we have done everything in our power to encourage investors to give it to you. You can read about the tools they have to provide you feedback: http://angelsoft.net/blog/2008/07/08/ratings-reviews/, which includes written comments.
The Angelsoft community is made up of real investors, not employees. While this is great for entrepreneurs looking for funding, it also means that we cannot require them to provide feedback.

Angelsoft is not affiliated with the Texas Investment Network. They do not use our platform. That website has many clones which you can find by changing the state portion of their domain name to some other state (for example Florida Investment Network, New York Investment Network etc.). They all look to be set up by the same company.
The problem is, in 3 years at Angelsoft, attending events all over the country and working with all the legitimate angel groups in the US, I have never met anyone who utilizes those websites or knows who runs them. If you have submitted your funding request on Angelsoft, we charge 250 dollars per month to be listed to all of the angel groups who use Angelsoft. To find the local angel groups in Texas who use Angelsoft go to our group search page and type "Texas" in the search field by location. The group finder is here:
http://angelsoft.net/entrepreneurs/angel-investors.seam
Some of these groups have application fees if you apply to them directly. Some of them do not. Most groups who will not charge an additional application fee if you have already paid us $250 to be listed in the Investor Community.
Best of luck in your funding search,
Ryan

The Views number at the top of your Application Monitor only refers to the Investor Community. Views from a group you applied to directly are shown in your newsfeed, but are not tallied at the top.
