Do we need a website like Angel.co a platform for startups to raise money online, recruit employees, and apply for funding in our ecosystem?

So I registered an account on angel.co last week and had a chance to meet awesome entrepreneurs and investors from the US. Then I remembered that such platform does not exist in our local ecosystem where local startups can meet local investors. So fellow Radians do you see a need for this in our own tech ecosystem?

If it ain't broke,...

What’s wrong with AngelList / angel.co?

broke? I don’t understand. Please shed more light. that is if you don’t sting me :grinning:

Meaning why do you need a local alternative if the “progenitor” ain’t faulty

He meant "If it ain’t broken, why fix it? " meaning he doesn’t see a need for it as you can as well make use of AngelList and Angel.co

Don’t fix it.

The problem is that trust is broken. So nobody trust founder with donated cash.

Says who? They look at your track record or your leadership experience before investing and they ask from friends about you, trust me investors do comprehensive KYC even before they call you for a meet and greet.

So if guys from SV can do that from USA why do we need another platform? theres VC4Africa, LAN and co, dude can help make them better.
