I have been toying with the idea of starting my own product and failing to find the time but I absolutely love the space and would love instead to allocate a portion of my portfolio to other founders who are changing the world.
What platforms are out there to allow me to explore and contribute some capital to helping these small ventures take off or overcome some early struggles?
I'd say there are a lot of places to fund young businesses like https://www.seedrs.com/ - otherwise AngelList is of course worth checking out.
In case you're interested in investing in profitable, bootstrapped internet businesses (yet not early stage anymore), my co-founder and I run https://www.bitsfordigits.com/
Great intentions. Godspeed.
Hi, I am working on https://sideinvest.io where people post their product to get micro investment.
This project is in pretty early stage but I am growing it week by week
+1, I am also very interested in this.
There are a few platforms out there, e.g. https://microacquire.com/, but, as far as I understood them, they all are about buying the entire startup, not a fraction of it. Buying into it (or financing) only a part of it would be much more interesting.
Just image what some of the people on IH could do with a convertible loan of 1-10k$.
