Thus, VC capitalists and angel investors can support AngelList residence with stablecoins by investing them in a USDC-enabled syndicate or fund.

Jeremy Allaire, CEO and co-founder of Circle Inc., stresses that his main product evolves into a novel way of start-up funding, and it is only the beginning:

Super excited to partner w/ AngelList on one of the fastest growing methods of startup funding and eventually treasury operations.

That said, the addition of USD Coin to AngelList's range of instruments can significantly democratize the process of investing into early-stage startups.
