Under the Hood

120,000+ profiles you search and filter, screened for relevance and activity.

Inbox-native outreach

Sequences sent from your own inbox, not just a listed profile.

AI fundraising CRM

Every reply logged, every stage tracked, follow-ups prompted.

Warm introductions

A LinkedIn plugin maps the warmest path to each investor.

Investor community

Vetted, active angels and VCs reviewing startups on the platform.

Founder community

A free peer network for intros, advice and shared momentum.

Beyond equity

Grants and venture debt intelligence, not only angel equity.

Global coverage

Investors across the US, UK, EU, Canada and Australia.

Done-For-You

Who Should Use Which Platform?

Find Your Scenario

Three situations founders actually find themselves in, and the honest answer for each.

You want to reach a community of investors

Fair enough, and here we are equals, for different reasons. Both of us give you an investor community. What differs is who is in it: on Angel Investment Network anyone can register as an investor, unvetted, so you never quite know who is on the other side. On Angels Partners every investor is vetted and active, and we work with them hand in hand.

Two communities, but only ours is vetted

You want replies from vetted, responsive investors

You would rather work a curated network, email the right investors directly and track every conversation in a CRM, than wait for an unvetted audience to discover your profile. Booked meetings are the goal, not impressions.

Angels Partners wins

You want support running the raise, or your pitch sharpened

Your constraint is time or experience, not visibility, so you want a team to build the list, run outreach and manage the pipeline, with warm intros, grants and debt in the mix. An open listing platform does not provide that.

Angels Partners wins

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Angel Investment Network and Angels Partners?

Angel Investment Network is an investor community, and nothing else: no database, no outreach tools, no CRM. Crucially, it is unvetted. Anyone can register as an investor, so you never quite know who is on the other side. Angels Partners is also an investor community, but every investor is vetted and active and we work with them directly, and that community sits on top of a full platform: a 120,000+ investor database, inbox outreach, an AI CRM, warm intros and an optional managed raise.

How much does Angel Investment Network cost?

Angel Investment Network charges founders a subscription to list a pitch and contact investors, around $230/month for the UK network and around $355/month for the global plan, with a higher executive tier billed quarterly (priced in pounds; verify current rates on angelinvestmentnetwork.co.uk). Angels Partners has a free plan, paid plans from $99/month, and a Done-For-You managed service from $999/month.

Are the investors on Angel Investment Network vetted?

Its strength is reach, with a very large open-access investor base, but that openness means the network is lightly vetted, so active, on-thesis investors sit alongside dormant ones. Angels Partners layers a curated, vetted, active community on top of its 120,000+ database, with investors screened for experience, sector focus and stage relevance.

Does Angel Investment Network run the outreach for me?

Mostly no. It is a profile and messaging platform, though its top tier adds expert pitch feedback and a dedicated investor mailout. Angels Partners offers inbox-based outreach automation, an AI CRM and a full Done-For-You managed service from $999/month that builds the list and runs the outreach and pipeline for you, end to end.
