Plan to invest 1- 10 k in start up but not sure how to find a trusted broker. Any suggestions. Share your experiences with startup investments as investors
Brokers usually have minimums of 50-100k and get involved in Series A+ rounds if at all. 1-10k you're better finding a few great names on the cap table and following them. Only invest what you're willing to lose. Jeff Bezos might put them out of business overnight.
You probably can't unless you are an accredited investor
1-10k? Go some small pitch events in your hometown. Listen to the guys and follow your gut. Otherwise it would be better to place some crowdinvestment.
Are you accredited?
Find a friends and family round in a startup you believe in and can even add value at that stage.

Also depending on your risk appetite you could also become a lender ( not like a shark loan lol ) in many platforms in U.K. It's FundingCircles I guess there are similar in US .
Venmo it to me, buddy
