I think that's a bigger problem for finding angels than finding VC. A little angel seed fund can give a startup enough traction to register with the VCs (and afford a trip or two to Silly Valley). But in Silly Valley itself, angels are easy to find and quick to commit.
Those of us out in flyover country have to deal with no local angels at all, or tire-kicking committees that want traditional 50 page five year business plans and take six months to make up their minds. And I'm sure the situation is far worse in places like India.
