• $1.1 billion raised by AngelList alumni

  Big news: AngelList alumni have raised over $1.1 billion from angels and VC’s on AngelList and beyond. Sarah Lacy has a detailed analysis.

  The big fish are companies like Uber, Getaround, DuckDuckGo and many others.

  Most of the $1.1 billion happens in the big rounds after AngelList. For example, Uber raised $1.25M in their AngelList round and went on to raise $43M after “graduating” from AngelList.

  (We’re obviously not counting companies like Path that use AngelList for recruiting but not fundraising.)

  Big surprise, the distribution is a power law.
