VERDICT

Should I use Yorkangels?

Data-Driven Capital, Built to Scale. - yorkangels.com

Depends. Fit only if you are a Canadian startup past the prototype stage seeking $50K–$500K angel money — then you apply, you don't buy. If you are evaluating a software product, walk away: this is an angel investor network, not a tool.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources; no verified product reviews found, so software-related scores are null.

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

Homepage shows leftover demo content — '$55.55 Per Month' pricing and placeholder address — professionalism red flag.

medium

Fees 'may be applicable upon receipt of your application' — you pay before knowing acceptance odds.

medium

.uk is a different UK organization; don't confuse the two sites.

low

Reported revenue is $860K with ~32 staff — modest scale; diligence before paying anything.

An Ontario angel investment network, not software. Right for GTA founders raising angel checks; useless as a tool.
