Yes. The directory and every profile page are free to read. Matching your own startup against them requires an account.

Often, though it depends on the investor. Some funds have a mandate limited to one country or region, and some tax structures make cross-border cheques harder. It is worth asking early rather than discovering the constraint after several meetings.

The team and the problem, in that order, before the product. Early on there is rarely enough traction to argue from numbers alone, so the question they are answering is whether these particular people are likely to work this problem out.

Several, in almost every case. A single backer concentrates the risk of the round collapsing if that one conversation goes cold, and a group brings more introductions later. Rounds are usually assembled from a lead plus others who follow.

Follow up with new information rather than a reminder. A short note saying what changed since you last wrote gives the reader a reason to reply, where "just checking in" gives them none. Two or three of those, spaced out, is normal and expected.

Usually the list was too short or too loosely matched, not that the company is unfundable. Widen it, tighten who you are writing to, and rewrite the first two lines of the message. Those lines decide whether anything below them gets read.

An angel invests their own money and can decide alone, which usually makes the process shorter. A fund invests money it raised from other people, so it answers to those backers and normally runs a longer diligence process before it commits. Founders often raise from angels first and bring in a fund once there is more to show.
