SCAM ALERT!!!
They create fake accounts from random people on the internet to get you to pay for their database of investors.

Dishonesty will blow up in your face someday!
Try searching the profile images on Google Image Search. Then find their LinkedIn and you will see those random people are not even into investment and they're from different locations.

Shame on you!

Update (In response to their comments):

1. If you have any doubt, find those "investors" on LinkedIn and ask them personally if they've created an account on this website. Let me know how many "yes" you get.
2. They're so fake that sometimes the picture doesn't match the name. They scrape the web and import pictures and names. So, that's why their scraper script makes mistakes.

This company need to be banned to do business in the U.S.

Angel Investment Network: A Complete Scam That Preys on Entrepreneurs

Angel Investment Network sounds like the perfect place to connect with investors, but my experience has been nothing short of a disaster. After eagerly signing up, I was promised a network of investors ready to engage with innovative businesses. Instead, what I got was a series of dead-end leads and complete radio silence from investors. Not a single viable investment opportunity came from it.

But the real scam reveals itself in their billing practices. They use recurring billing without providing any reminders—it's all very hush-hush until you notice the unexpected charge on your account. When I asked for a refund, I was told I should have canceled 5 days before the renewal date, which is buried in the fine print. No notice, no courtesy reminder—just a sneaky way to milk more money from entrepreneurs.

Their refund policy is basically non-existent. Instead of offering any help or support, they stick to their predatory terms and wash their hands of any responsibility. This platform yielded zero results for me and turned out to be a total waste of time and money.

If you're an entrepreneur looking for funding, stay far away from Angel Investment Network. It’s nothing more than an expensive trap that gives you false hope and takes your money without any accountability. Avoid at all costs!

There is a huge application list and a payment notice only after completing these fields.. Waste of time!

I did invest time in preparing my company profile area and was about to purchase, however, given I was greeted by a payment wall once I finished my profile I decided to read reviews. I was put off the purchase as some felt familiar with the process I just went through. Bailing on checkout there is a free version offered beforehand with no branding or company naming allowed including the removal of any company identifiers from the pitch deck. (is there any point?, wasted time and effort) I can't give an opinion about the platform post purchase but reading the reviews pushed me to read about the refund policy. Looks like a lot of hoops and jumps through time rings to get your money back. The reviews confirmed this. Looked promising but no thanks. If there wasn't so many negative reviews I could have been a customer.

Awful company with practises that border Fraud.

This company wasted a huge amount of my time, refusing to honor their bogus refund policy, which is clearly designed to trap customers. Despite me following every step of their so-called “refund policy” to the letter, they did everything they could to avoid paying back the money they owed me.

I had to initiate a chargeback with my bank because they outright refused to refund me. During this process, they didn’t just provide misleading information; they submitted fully doctored screenshots to my bank, trying to deceive them. I was savvy enough to catch this and provide overwhelming proof to the bank, which quickly ruled in my favour and refunded me in full. What they did was fraudulent, and it’s shocking that a company like this is allowed to operate in this manner.

If you’re a small business looking for investment, stay far away from these people. Their behavior is disgraceful, and I strongly suggest pursuing a chargeback through your bank if you’ve paid them by card. Enough people doing this will hopefully lead to them losing their payment facilities.

On top of everything, Angel Investment Network tried to have this review removed, but Trustpilot has kept it up after I made the necessary edits, proving the truth behind my claims.

Also, a quick search for “Angel Investment Network” on Trustpilot reveals that they have multiple websites across different countries, all tied to the same Twickenham address, with an overwhelming number of 1-star reviews. Hopefully, Trustpilot investigates this pattern further.

Avoid this company at all costs—they’re a danger to small businesses.

Managed to get an investor from Switzerland that I wouldn't have had a chance to find otherwise

I listed my pitch and have had promising conversations with some impressive investors. I’m hoping to get a deal over the line soon.

This is a pure scam we never received any contact form any investors asked for a refund they refused.

Don't touch them with a barge pole!

Really easy process to submit your brand, but make sure you do the ground work first and have everything you need to complete.

I’d recommend using the function that means only subscribing payers can see your pitch, as I got so many fake enquiries that burnt my time.

But their support was able to help us out. Appreciate it!

I’ve used AIN for several raises. Received a good number of contacts each time - around half of these ended up with phone calls or further discussion. Often investors were prepared to invest without meeting face to face and we’ve ended up with investors from all over the world, India, Scotland, Mexico, Australia to name a few. Very global network. Platform does work, nudge feature is helpful for getting internet and we got good results from using that. Appreciate that it won’t work for everyone, but can confirm some really good investors on there. Our smallest investor from the network put in £25k and our largest 1.25M , all different levels.

The platform hosts serious and professional investors who can create an effective dialogue with startups.

The platform gave our investor a chance to find us, communicate with us, and finally conclude a successful investment agreement as part of the seed round.

Very easy sign-up process, good UX and great customer service.

Stamp Free have used AIN for two investment rounds and raised of over £500k via them. We shall use them again.

Best wishes Hugh

Absolutely horrible experience. This is a business run as a scam where they make money by offering you a refund policy that they contradict later in the process. They intentionally make it very difficult to receive a refund. Don’t expect to get your money back or any investors from using this network.

I spoke to the founder over email and he was extremely unhelpful and unapologetic about the fact that they were not able to connect me with any investors. Instead of offering me any refund (like it says in their policy) he went forward to tell me that I didn’t communicate with the correctly and therefore I will not get a refund. Their service took me 4 hours to set up and provided me with NO value. I would thing any properly run business would offer their customers a partial refund for that…

Spent a good few hours just to be unexpectedly told its a pay for package

Deceptive pay-to-pitch platform.

They are not upfront or honest that this is paid brokerage. They pose as a genuine investment group, of which there are many, but they are not.

Their website holds no clue of the "service" provided or the amount they charge for it.

Scam.... it funny how you magically gets messages of people pretending they are interested to invest just before your subscription runs out. They keep deleteing my reviews. Stay well clear! You have been warned. Should be shut down and charged!

All we got were scammers and people looking for jobs. Weird refund rules (you have to contact them in advance) designed to help you lose your money.

AIN is a great service. We have raised a lot through their platform and found some amazing angels getting a huge ROI from the cost. The team is super helpful if you need bespoke support. I highly recommend.
