How you make money

Once you have made an investment in a startup, you will hold private equity in that company. The value of your stake in the company may increase or decrease over time depending on how the company performs. You will receive cash or stock return on your investment if and when a positive liquidity event occurs – for example, as a result of the company going public or getting acquired by another company. Please bear in mind that startup investments are long-term investments that may take years to become liquid, if they do at all.

How AngelList makes money

AngelList make their money through something called "carry" (short for "carried interest"). When investors make a profit on their investment, Angel List takes a 5% cut of this profit. They also charge a fee for job postings.
