For the startup conference, we rely on AngelList for a couple of reasons. The main one is that it's unfair to startups to have each incubator use their own form. Founders have better things to do than fill out yet another form. On AngelList at least, you fill out their questions once, and you can re-use your company profile for many opportunities.
The second reason is that the questions they ask are the right ones. We don't want to read a long executive summary, we need a quick intro video of the founders and/or the product, a paragraph on what you are trying to build, and any details on traction if you have some. Not a 4-page executive summary with 5-year bogus financial forecast (like older angel platforms used to ask).
