How The AngelList Website Is Shaking Up Tech Startup Funding

The funding process for startup companies is evolving, and it is making traditional venture capitalists worried. A firm called AngelList introduced a new product named AngelList Syndicates. Using AngelList Syndicates, rich people can invest their cash with "angel" investors, who manage the tech startup funding process with the pooled money.

AngelList takes five percent of any profits earned by those investments. The angel investors receive fifteen percent. The rich people will receive the remainder. About a month ago, "angel" and entrepreneur Jason Calacanis shook up the startup industry by revealing that he'd set up an Angel Syndicate, which raised $300,000.00 in only seven days.

If your early-stage business needs help, you might consider looking into Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) for help in funding.

Most marketers use PLR for their websites, blogs and for article directory distribution. The problem that is inherent with PLR is the quality of the content. PLR membership sites are notorious for providing content that is not acceptable and below the standards that affiliate marketers expect.

A Recap Of The Affiliate Summit East 2013

The Affiliate Summit East 2013 took place in Philadelphia from August 18th to the 20th. It all went down at the Pennsylvania Convection Center in Philadelphia which was a great spot even though we were hoping for New York again this year. The conference lasted over three days and there were dozens of activities that took place each day. There were education sessions which majored in the latest trends in affiliate marketing, I tried to attend at least one each session of the day. Many people attended including merchants, affiliates and vendors. Nice to see some friends that I haven’t seen since Vegas. This conference had the highest number of attendants for the East show to date, which was approximately four thousand.
