Raising capital

What are some publicly available tools that provide metrics on competition? Can these data be used on a pitch deck or mentioned when pitching?

I would include the source always. Crunchbase, wikipedia is always a good source but be aware. Slideshare is a great tool for this. Always cite source.

Fundraising

What are a couple of books that explain the process of fundraising from an angel investor perspective?

Michael is right, "Venture Deals" (second edition) by Brad Feld is by far the best book and includes a sample term sheet. It is less about angel investment but they do cover convertible notes. http://blog.ycombinator.com/announcing-the-safe-a-replacement-for-convertible-notes This is an alternative to the CN. Also, here is a link to some startup books. http://www.businessinsider.com/read-these-books-before-pitching-vcs-2013-8?op=1&IR=T If you haven't read Lean Startup, read that before pursuing any investment. Hold on and bootstrap as long as you can is my advice.
