I understand the premise behind Angel list, but with all of the literature, talks and emphasis on the team and the personality behind a venture, and knowing that the actual direction of a company can and does change quite often, doesn't Angel List mask those nuances in the investor-startup relationship? Understandably, the marketability of the venture is the ultimate way of making a return, but I guess I assumed that angel investors were also interested in an advisory role to assist an early stage startup that may not have worked out all of the kinks yet...But I guess if a coffee meeting is the "end" of Angel List, it is the beginning of that aforementioned relationship.
