Discretionary income is highly unlikely to be of sufficient magnitude to overcome the wealth thresholds that VC investment syndicates require for participation.

Discretionary income is highly unlikely to be of sufficient magnitude to overcome the wealth thresholds that VC investment syndicates require for participation. There is no upside for a venture capital syndicate to include non-accredited investors. And while being an accredited investor is necessary, it is unlikely to be sufficient. Think about it from a VC's perspective. Which is better, A two billion dollar fund with 100 investors who have diverse portfolios of investments of similar magnitude or 10,000 investors who are gambling the rent money? Which is better, working with 100 experienced professionals or 10,000 amateurs? Why would a VC want you to jump in its pudding? Good luck.
