Ask HN: How do you become a micro investor or angel?

16 points by lakeeffect 6 years ago | 2 comments

I have some money set aside. I want to take some chances while learning about new technologies that I can invest in. Any recommendations on how to proceed, where can I find the best opportunities to invest?

Funny, I literally just posted an Ask HN about how to attract investors for something that's in a vertical niche deemed "safe" / "growth" even though it's mostly bootstrapped services business and not really a venture startup.

Trying to figure out if that's appealing to angel investors these days with all the uncertainty

If you want to learn, do some paper trading first. Stock markets have lots of opportunities for investment. don’t bet more than 2% on a single investment idea, particularly when starting out.
