Show HN: AngelList Army

I wanted to share a project I started a few days ago. It's called AngelList Army, and it's a way to volunteer through AngelList. We connect entrepreneurs to volunteers who offer a small amount of time per week to give advice, and perspective. We use all of the same function of AngelList to connect volunteers to startups, so volunteers are listed as advisors, and we do all of the connecting behind the scenes. This was started in response to the overwhelming response I had from entrepreneurs when offering to help out. If you can volunteer a small amount of time per week, please get involved. Come find us at http://angel.co/angellist-army

If anyone has any ideas which could help me improve the concept, I'd love to hear them.

Brilliant idea. There are so many good products out there not getting any attention because they are not connected to the right people.

Great. How do we approach advisers?

Individuals can be connected to volunteers by requesting an intro to the Startup, and sending a message about what they need help with. Then we will connect you to available volunteers.
