Our sister company, AngelList Venture, continues on as AngeList. With the spin out, we chose a name that embodied a spirit of discovery and finding what's next.


I get the idea. But it would immensely help discovery if your name was easily discoverable.


all of this is false


We couldn't be more dedicated to Wellfound. By spinning out from AngelList, we think we can hone in even more on our unique audience and elevate the product. There was a lot of friction from a shared brand and codebase from the investor side.


We think Wellfound better embodies the spirit of finding what's next. Our sister company AngelList Venture is continuing on as AngelList.

> We think Wellfound better embodies the spirit of finding what's next.

"Wellfound" definitely does not suggest that, at least to me. The associations I make are health or search related. I'm curious which agency did the rebrand work.


"Wellfound" sounds like an app for finding wells to get water from in your area.


It's less descriptive than the old name though.


As a job marketplace, we were never "a list of angels". AngelList Venture, which in many ways still is, continues on with the name AngelList.


hi - CEO of AngelList Talent here. Sorry about that. Could you email me at amit@angel.co and I can get it sorted


I decided to send an email to invest@angel.co instead, requesting deletion of my personal information based on Art. 17 GDPR - Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten'). Rick Segers promptly confirmed that my profile had just been deleted following my request. That is good and all, but I would have liked more the same level of responsiveness 1.5 years ago when I reported the insults from the alleged CEO.




We have 7000+ fully remote jobs listed on AngelList Talent that you can apply to (angel.co/jobs). There's also some granular remote filters: https://cln.sh/Q4dmSd



Sorry to hear about your experience. We take abuse like this seriously. If possible, could you email me the names of the companies at amit@angel.co?


I think it's awesome that you take this so seriously. I also think it's great that you ask companies to be upfront about compensation (I say this as an founder). It irks me when companies aren't forthright with potential hires.


Definitely replying to this, I've had this happen more than once at the offer stage.
