# What should startups know about the Evaluation process?

* For starters, please read how our Evaluation process works.
* This process is based on best practices followed by the most reputable angel groups. It is very important for startups to help investors understand their company and get them comfortable with investing. Our ‘Evaluation’ process is designed to help investors interact with the company, understand the risks, and ultimately make an informed investment decision.
* We also understand that startups want to protect sensitive information. To this end, we have enabled startups to approve who can access their investor materials and Evaluation results. Startups also control which experts can respond to investor questions.
