angelMD investment marketplace got a brand new site that not only looks better, but also includes some handy new features. For one thing, the homepage now features a greater breadth of information including highlights from the company’s blog and notices of future events and activity. The site will rotate top startups within the network, with these selected companies getting the prime spot to share their story with the world. The initial roster (of promoted companies) includes:

• QxMD – which has developed a personalized medical journal for iPad, iPhone and web called Read, helping physicians and scientists keep up with new research, read outstanding topic reviews and search PubMed.
