AngelList has released their weekly list of trending startups and we're going to start publishing the results each Monday. I have said this before but if you're a startup and you're not on AngelList then you might be on drugs - or not on drugs depending on how you look at drug use. It's the biggest no brainer in the history of startup tools and if you're not there and you want funding, then you need to drop everything planned for today to beef up your profile.
The site now boasts more than 25,000 startups and 3,000 investors. It's also routinely touted several times each day in my Twitter feed by investors and entrepreneurs that I follow and greatly respect.
Here is the full list of trending startups for this week 4/29-5/5). Trending (Week of April 29-May 5)
