Any advice would really need to based on an understanding of what you want to get from the money, and more broadly from life. I slightly get the impression from the wording of your question that you don't quite know what you want to get from it, but you feel that you ought to do something (there are plenty of people who's job it is to tell you that you ought to). I think that unless you know what you want from it, you'll never be able to answer this question. Some options to consider: seeding your next company, angel funding, charity, friends & family, financial stimulus of your local area, etc. - these are all investments of sorts. If you're just looking for somewhere to park it whilst you decide then make sure you're within FDIC limits on each account...
