It is for people like me. I'm usually right about things before other people even know about them. Bought BTC in 2011, ETH in 2014 (funded the IPO), Tesla in 2013, Microsoft right when they replaced Ballmer (at $30 I think), Nvidia on the Covid crash day in 2020, learned Rust in 2017, took AI seriously two weeks after ChatGPT 3.5 launched. I never had any insider information. I typically have a good feeling for things.

Not entirely true. You can use https://localbitcoins.com/ to buy bitcoin without an exchange and then use Uniswap to invest into up and coming tokens. If they're on Coinbase, it is often already too late to be an early stage investor.

Genuine Question: For somebody not working in the US/SF (and not in a well known startup) but with the desire to invest small amounts into startups (made money with side projects, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26604106) how would one go about finding a group like that?

I'm in a similar position. Made money (> 2 mio) with side projects and smart investments and would love to invest 10 ~10k into good looking projects but it is difficult finding them, especially since I don't live in the US or SF. I tried to register for syndicates but they ask for previous investments which is a chicken and egg problem. I haven't invested in other projects before, I successfuly build my own side projects.
