Why can I only invest in funds? How do I access deal-by-deal investing?

Only a small group of investors is eligible to invest on a deal-by-deal basis. Investors in this group typically have an investment background and/or a successful track record as a founder of a venture-backed company. Deal-by-deal access is reserved for those with an established history of early-stage investing.

Note: Your accreditation status does not affect your access level. All investors on AngelList must be accredited.

To access deal-by-deal investing, you must meet at least one of the following requirements:

  • You have invested in at least one startup.
  • You have founded a startup.
  • You have worked at a startup.
  • You have advised a startup and received equity compensation.
  • You are a finance professional.

If you have already completed the application process and believe you should have access to deal-by-deal investing, please email investor.apps@angellist.com.

Direct Invites:

If you do not meet the criteria above but have an established relationship with a GP running a deal or syndicate on AngelList, you can reach out to them to be invited directly.
