I'm an accredited investor. I've had a series 7 license and was in a finance PHD program. I've had the chance to see a lot of investments that require you being an accredited investor. Almost all of them have had some highly problematic issues. Most of them have a outcomes where you can lose all of your money and there is NO WAY to get out of the investments. What I tell other people is run away from investments that require you to be accredited. Seed round investments are probably the "best" opportunity BUT you have the risks of being screwed by cap table games. A "regular" person could put money into a startup and get really screwed.
