AngelCrunch Will Match-Make Chinese Start-Ups and Angel Investors

China now has its own iteration of AngelList, and it’s called AngelCrunch. Using the tagline “where the best start-ups meet the smart money,” it’s designed to be an online community that can connect entrepreneurs with angel investors – and potential funding.

AngelCrunch already has an impressive roster of investors who have their own profiles. These come equipped with introductions, lists of cuurent start-up projects, and categories for easy and relevant searching. For example, clicking on the profile of Chen Hao-zhi reveals that he’s currently involved with the Cocoa China app dev team (which we saw snag US$14 million in funding quite recently); his intro explains that he’s interested in the mobile web, and that he’s “going to invest in 10 business projects this year.” Music to the ears, surely, of any start-up team working on a mobile-based creation.

Browsing angel investors tagged with 'Beijing' on AngelCrunch.com.

And so AngelCrunch has the exact same community spirit and get-people-connected aim of the San Franciso-based AngelList. Think of it as a dating site for entrepreneurs, not lonely hearts.

The site has, of course, two types of users who sign-up in different channels. It’s free to sign-up and use for start-ups. And so entrepreneurs can follow VCs on AngelCrunch in a manner similar to Twitter or Weibo.

We look forward to hearing of a team who got ahold of some funding by using this site. Check out AngelCrunch, where you could just browse some of the investors before needing to sign-up.
