Do you want him to lose every dollar? Most penny stocks are garbage. Generally low volume, occasional pump-and-dump scams, fake news from paid stock promoters, etc.
So you’re saying it great practice! Do a study on the survival rate of the average AngelList offer. I didn’t say penny stocks. You can try names you know and like: SMAR, SSTI, PS, etc

You did say micro cap though. The ones you list are really small caps...
Do you really want to invest in early stage, high risk ventures that have a low probability of return? Open a Vanguard or Fidelity account. Buy index funds. Invest regularly. In 10 - 15 years you'll have a small fortune.
More specifically, if you invest $150k per year for 15 years and get a 7% return, you'll end up with right around $4 million.
Do you want to invest, or to gamble? At your level of available funds, investing in startups is gambling, because you can’t spread your bets widely enough to hedge them and increase the likelihood that gains on one will make up for the losses or break-even on the rest. If you want to invest , I recommend index funds.
What does hedging mean in startup investing? I'm used to the meaning in securities where you take an inverse position to limit losses.

Contrary to the stock market, Bitcoin _is_ a zero sum game.
Could you expand on that please?

Sounds like it's just a problem of identifying arbitrage opportunities then. I.e. the problem isn't actually that there isn't enough places to put money. The problem is identifying systemic biases in the investor landscape (e.g. a bias against diversity, as just one potential example).
This might be related but I think the bigger arb opportunity is looking outside of SF/NYC. There are some PE funds operating in the Midwest and doing great, but I think it’s still pretty difficult to find early/growth equity funding.

Eventually you will find the other angel investors in your area, and collaborate with them.
$100k is probably enough to build a small software product, especially if you can find a tech co-founder who is putting in sweat equity. The process of doing this will teach you a lot even if you never make back the $100k.
