If you're an angel looking for hot deals, look to Seattle--which could be the most underfunded US city compared to its startup activity. With little competition from local angels, you could get some great deals. (Message me if you'd like to hear about some of them)
Below is the latest data from Pitchbook. Despite being the home of Amazon and Microsoft, we just got surpassed by Washington DC for funding--with San Diego and Austin close behind. Our growth score is the smallest of the top US cities.

Are there any early-stage angel investors out there--who would invest in FinTech startups focused on community banks and credit unions who have a product but only 0-1 customers?
The Cascadia FinTech Coalition is setting up an investor offering for at least three of our early-stage FinTech companies, all with underrepresented founders!
Let me know if you'd be potentially interested.

Hello everyone! Who here are interested in community banks or credit unions?
Howard Keener and I are launching a FinTech coalition in the Pacific Northwest (https://www.casfintech.org) to connect community banks/credit unions with early-stage FinTechs to get new development via education and discussions leading to proofs of concept and pilot projects.
If you're a community bank/credit union with some big unsolved problems you'd like to get solved, or a startup looking for a community bank/credit union to work with you on your first product, please ping me--even if you're not in the Pacific Northwest. I'd like to hear from you!
(Howard and I also run a startup, but we're launching this coalition to effectively talk with community banks and credit unions in a non-salesy setting--for ourselves and other FinTech startups)
