I am software engineer in bay area and have experience in programming.
So ideally I would like to invest in a startup that is gaining traction, and need money + expertise !
Any advice? I should be able to contribute both financially and in developing the company!
Any ideas? I am willing to help out a current startup in bay area or remote!
Technically speaking, no private startup can legally take investment from someone who does not meet the SEC's definition of an "accredited investor." The Jobs Act was supposed to change this, but that part of it hasn't come into effect yet sadly.
If you only have $25,000 in savings, please don't invest it in a startup! Until you can write a check that you're okay with never seeing again, you should invest in more conservative assets.

I was thinking of investing as partner, financially + hard work!
Why not be a technical co-founder in a startup that you truly believe in. Then use the $25k to support yourself and get the startup to angel stage quickly.
