Angel investors can now get a piece of all the startups in a batch at prominent accelerators TechStars Austin, AngelPad and Rock Health with the click of a few buttons online—a new wrinkle in the rapidly changing world of early-stage investing.
Crowdfunding sites like FundersClub and WeFunder have allowed individual, accredited investors to back a startup or a select group of startups in an accelerator class before, but a little-known feature on the crowdfunding platform AngelList called “Classes” is the first to enable investors to back an entire class at once, said AngelList Chief Executive Naval Ravikant.
