AngelList provides fundraising infrastructure. We make you fundable.
The Founders' Group
AI-powered pitch deck analysis, investor matching, and community mentorship that helps founders become investor-ready. We focus on the pre-fundraising work that determines whether investors say yes — before you need SPVs and cap tables.
AngelList
Comprehensive fundraising infrastructure: SPVs, rolling funds, cap table management, banking, and investor relations tools. Essential for executing a raise, but assumes you already have investor interest.

Key Differences
Preparation vs. Execution
AngelList helps you execute a fundraise: SPVs, wire transfers, cap tables. We help you prepare for one: pitch deck quality, investor targeting, fundraising readiness. You need to be fundable before you need fundraising infrastructure — that's where we come in.
AI Feedback vs. Financial Tools
Our AI evaluates your pitch content and matches you with aligned investors. AngelList provides the legal and financial infrastructure to close a round. Different stages of the fundraising journey, both valuable in their context.
Community-Driven vs. Platform-Driven
AngelList is a platform for transactions. We're a community for growth. Our 400+ founders share feedback, practice pitches together, and hold each other accountable. You don't just get a tool — you get a support network.
Built for Founders Everywhere
AngelList's investor base skews heavily toward Silicon Valley and coastal markets. We started in Texas and built our network from the ground up across Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and the broader South and Midwest. Our 1,200+ investors include regional angel groups, university-affiliated funds, and local syndicates that AngelList doesn't reach — because great startups aren't limited to San Francisco.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Founders' Group an AngelList competitor?
No, we serve different stages of the fundraising journey. AngelList provides infrastructure for executing a raise (SPVs, cap tables, banking). We help founders prepare for a raise (pitch analysis, investor matching, community). Think of us as the step before AngelList — we make you fundable, they help you close.
When should I use AngelList vs. your platform?
Use The Founders' Group when you're preparing to fundraise: refining your deck, finding the right investors, and building fundraising readiness. Use AngelList when you have investor commitments and need infrastructure to execute the round: SPVs for angel groups, cap table management, and banking.
Does AngelList provide pitch deck feedback?
No. AngelList is fundraising infrastructure — SPVs, rolling funds, cap tables, and banking. They don't analyze your pitch deck, score it against investor criteria, or provide content feedback. For pre-fundraising preparation, you need a different platform.
Can I find investors on both platforms?
Yes, but the approach differs. AngelList has an investor database and syndicate leads. We provide AI-powered matching that analyzes sector focus, stage preference, check size, and thesis alignment across 1,200+ angel investors. Our matching is more targeted; AngelList's network is broader but less personalized.
