In the first three months of 2024, the team has launched 25+ new releases across our product offerings for funds, investors, and founders.

As AngelList continues to innovate across our product lines, we're focused not only on enhancing our current infrastructure but also on releasing new products and features across all software offerings. These product updates aim to provide transparency into these efforts while keeping our partners and community up-to-date on AngelList's offerings across the private markets.

Full Service Fund Management

AngelList offers an all-in-one solution for fund managers looking to launch, run, and scale a fund. We pair our software with Belltower's fund admin services for venture funds, rolling funds, and syndicates.

Additional Releases:

  • Real-time tax data verification – we’ve improved our tax software leveraged by Belltower, our native fund admin, to ensure timely delivery of K-1s.
  • Directly adjust commitments –LPs can take full control of adjusting their commitments within the AngelList dashboard by having their requests to decrease/cancel commitments sent directly to the GPs (via email & in-product) for approval or rejection. Once actioned by the GP, the change will be automatically executed.
