Ask HN: Who's angel investing?

I know this is not how it works, but the current status quo to find angel investors is broken. Something someone said in the YC Startup Investor School [0] stuck with me (I'm paraphrasing): "If you're an angel investor and meeting founders, think of it as a job interview for the position of the investor. You're the interviewee. The status quo to find angel investors is over networking. However, I think this is a huge market inefficiency. Continuing the analogy from before, something like Triple Byte for angel investors should exist. Wouldn't it make sense for angel investors to pay $100 or so a month to get super high-quality deals? Wouldn't it make sense for founders to fill out a YC-style application on that platform and get matched with angel investors? (As a founder I can answer my own question, which is, yes, it would). Do you know of any such platform out there that's not scam? As a quicker solution, maybe something analogous to "Ask HN: Who's hiring" might also work?
