Why All Incubators Should Follow 500 Startups and Use AngelList as a Gateway

OP: consider re-writing to have less of a "this is why my startup is awesome and well-connected" and more of a "this is what Angel-list is actually going to be important".

Here's a hint: it's about data.

(Also, your landing page made me want really sad. Confidence is great, but being a douche is, well, being a douche)

I realize this was a negative post and HN is too full of those these days, but this was needed

Second hint: 500 is using Angellist not to make things easier for startups to apply to theirs and other incubators, but to use the most accurate data available to quickly eliminate 95% of startups from consideration. They're not worried about losing a few in the process, they're concerned about efficiency and missing things hidden in plain site. You can quote me on that.

Extrapolate from there.

I agree...but the end result is the same that other incubators will follow the same process and at the end it's all good.

I'm all about candid feedback. So it's well taken and much appreciated. We were playing around with different wording and we were afraid if it was too duchy for average consumer or not.
