Does a seed stage startup really have a chance with angels if he's/she's the only one doing everything? And everything but the sales have begun?

Absolutely has a chance. Angels, like all early pre-seed & seed investors, love to see that.

Pitch to angels whose values & thesis align with what you’re trying to accomplish

I've posted my stuff on USINVESTMENTNETWORK.COM AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING IVE GOTTEN SOME INTREST 50K SO FAR OFFERED FOR THE 550K IM LOOKING FOR AND NOW 20K FROM FRIENDS.
THAT WAS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED, ITS TAKEN SO MUCH TO GET THIS FAR I ALMOST GAVE UP.

Just sold 100 units to a company in Tennessee. Apparently a friend told him of it and he said send them as soon as he's got them in the package. Very excited, now if my packaging would show up with the rest of the components to cover the core product to make it look like something that would be fantastic. $3995 first approach of an automotive fleet. They said if they work they would get them for the entire fleet.

Looking to confirm or crush my expectation as part of a business model. Are M&A like technology assessments somewhat standardized for angel investors or do you start by independently evaluating specific platform, data, code, technical architecture issues? I’m assuming there are individuals who seek technology risks for value opportunities while others avoid such risks. Is it common to ignore technology choices or are there other options I’m missing?
