AngelList Confidential 2020 Highlights

Last week, we held our 5th annual AngelList Confidential, a yearly event that brings together our community of investors, founders, and startup operators to discuss the state of the venture industry. This year, the event was virtual, held over 3 days, and offered a mix of general sessions and closed sessions exclusive to the most active investors on the AngelList platform.

Announcements

Company spin-out

To focus on our mission, we have spun AngelList Venture out as its own independent company from AngelList Holdings. 

New home‍

AngelList Venture’s new website —www.angellist.com— will serve as the new home for AngelList investors and fund managers.

Invest in Rolling Funds

Earlier this year, we launched Rolling Funds, which are always-open venture funds that allow fund managers to publicly fundraise and start investing right away. Now, investors can view and invest in these funds directly on our site. 

Transfers: The Company-Friendly Liquidity Solution

AngelList Venture launched a tool for companies to provide liquidity to their shareholders while maintaining full control over the process. Learn more on our blog.
