Updated now
Here is a list of Twitter accounts heavily followed by the angel investor & VC community.
To create this list, I used the same methodology as an earlier post (Twitter Users Most Followed by Readers of Hacker News) but remixed with different data. This time I’ve looked at investors on AngelList instead of users on Hacker News.
Many thanks to the fine fellows at AngelList for making their data available.
This list is available as a CSV file.
