Interesting product, how is this different from Angel List?

@frantzlight 1. We incorporate a wider array of data sources, including reviews from KnowYourVC 2. We have an intelligent layer for discovery personalized to your startup 3. We have investors at all stages 4. We have much more functionality than just discovery - a fully functional CRM and a LinkedIn-style Intro Path feature being a couple examples. 5. We help facilitate out-of-network intros in the most familiar way possible: email, with no extra platform or login needed on the Investor's end.

I'm a huge fan of the ability to link up your email and let VCWiz track your correspondence for you; it's a huge pain to have to do this manually, and automating it this way is a great idea.

The design of the website is nice - very clean and clear cut. I also really like the option to look at a specific startup and see which investors have worked with them in the past (which provides an idea of who other members of the marketplace worked with).

Pros:

Great place to centralize the process of reaching out to venture capital firms and track your progress with each of them

Cons:

Seems like there might be a few UI quirks but overall the functionality seems to be in place

@kevinbryantlou thanks! we really feel strongly that something like this needs to exist, and be open & free. as a seed-stage founder, I've already had a lot of fun dogfooding it :)

Awesome product.

Pros:

Really useful specific data on each partner. Especially helpful early stages of partner/ fund discovery.

Cons:

Interface could be a bit faster.

Congrats on the launch!! How has this product evolved over time ? What tradeoffs did you have to make?

@eriktorenberg great question! originally, the goal of VCWiz was to be a recommendation engine for founders, with cutting-edge ML powering theoretically optimal matches. for all the nerdy details, see my Master's thesis proposal (https://goo.gl/zjGDof). over time, after interviewing and working with a ton of founders, it became apparent that the solution which provided the most utility wasn't *that* technically sophisticated from a data standpoint (which was a major tradeoff, since the fancy ML parts are fun to build!). we set out to build a clean, easy-to-use product with an extremely rich data set, while also integrating into as many existing workflows as possible. the biggest lesson along the way was that the bar for replacing a spreadsheet is actually quite high, so we needed to address a lot of the small details to get a sticky product. the other big realization was that design really matters: we had an earlier version with similar functionality but 0 design love, and no one touched it.
