INAL; My understanding is that you can invest in startups without being an accredited investor if it's part of crowdfunding as per "Regulation Crowdfunding" https://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/secg/rccomplianceguide-051316.htm https://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/secg/rccomplianceguide-051... . Also, remember that the accreditation is not some strict formal process. You simply must be able to show you fall under one of the criteria. If your net worth is over 1M$ - you already ARE an accredited investor. Would be nice for someone to chime in if there's some specifics regarding citizenship status. But I'd suspect there aren't.
