Easiest? Do I get a list with emails or do I have to click on contact every time? If it's latter I think it's anything but not easy.

Easiest = You can target specific VC/Angels that focus on your target group. You have option to introduce yourself using your contacts network, and it's still better than sending cold e-mail to random VCs. Also, VC List doesn't have public e-mails, you still need to find them.

So yes, for me it's easiest option.

Just not true. This topic is complex and yes sending a cold email to a random investor is worse than getting a warm intro but these are two extremes. There are many ways to raise significant funds without intros.

So, I have to click on a clumsy website around and don't get email addresses? No thanks.

No, you don't have to, no one is forcing you to use it. Someone will find it useful and this is sole reason I posted it here. :)
