Ask HN: Is getting funded in the US as fast as it looks like?

When I browse Angel list or CrunchBase almost every single app or site has several investors, even those ones that have good competitors get funded.

I am having a really, really hard time, to even get in find "investors" here in Brazil and it looks like every american is investing in startups in the US.

What is the real picture ?

Can a regular people find funding alone without some incubator like YC ?

does it happen as much as I believe? or I am complety wrong ?
