The AngelList’s Stack for Founders is fantastic! They’ve made it super easy for founders to convert ideas into startups.

The time to start a company used to be very manual involving multiple stakeholders and used to take weeks, or months depending on your location — dealing with lawyers, incorporating the company, choosing bank accounts, getting investors, etc.

Now it’s a matter of days.

Unlike Stripe Atlas and other tools in market, the AngelList Founder Stack is 100% built for startup founders who want to raise venture capital, eg. incorporate a Delaware C Corp, hire employees, raise funds from investors, etc.

Wasn’t built for folks who want to start consulting services, etc.

I have a couple of latent ideas I’m tempted to incubate because of this.

I can also see AngelList building or integrating more solutions for founders and investors in the future. This can make the platform more powerful and sticky. Thinking out loud:

  • Tax automation for startups

  • Corporate card issuance for employees

  • Vendor or R&D credits for new startups

  • BaaS for all SMBs beyond their startups

  • A more seamless integration between their venture and recruiting platform

  • Integration with startup M&A marketplace Microacquire

  • Secondary market for founder, investor, and employee shares

  • Platform for funds that invests in Non Qualified Investments (NQIs)

  • Creation of on-chain entities (DAOs etc) and everything that comes with this

  • More fleshed out investor, employee, and advisor update tool

  • … more!

AngelList is the default platform for new investors. Now, we’re seeing them become the default platform for founders!
