Discussion
The difference is mainly that Angor is a protocol not a platform.
The devs have no control who uses it and how, kyc is a platform problem and inherently can't be baked into protocols.
The main benefit of Angor though is that it offers investor protection using bitcoins execution language (script).
No more scams or rug pulls, no kyc, use Nostr accounts for reputation.
I would suggest nostr:nprofile1qqs99d9qw67th0wr5xh05de4s9k0wjvnkxudkgptq8yg83vtulad30gpz4mhxue69uhks6tnwshxummnw3ezumrpdejqzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7umhdpjhyefwvdhk6qgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcd5u7te that you try to make a test listing on our testnet.

What, besides a reputation, is there to prevent a rug pull, in the sense of what is promissed not being delivered or future profits not being distributed to investors? Also, how would a company justify source of investment without KYCing investors?
Good questions
Rug pulls are prevented not by reputation but by protocol, bitcoin being locked into delivery stages (timelocks/multisigs/penalties).
Future profits is harder to enforce. To solve this a founder, who wants to provide investors with assurances of future profits, will have to use a combination of reputation/endorsement, but also potentially associating with a legal structure (be it a state court or a private court), by having a claim over the keys that were used in the investment transaction an investor has a proof of investment.
Regarding KYC, Angor is a protocol and as such does not deal with that, it is up to the founder/investor to decide about KYC.
For example a founder that wants to have source of funds will only approve investors that identify themselves.
