Ask HN: Getting Started Investing

I, like probably most of the people here, want to someday build a product and sell it. But, until I can come up with an idea I believe in I would like to invest in other people's ideas. I'm a well paid independent consultant and have $100-150K yearly profits that can be used for investments.

My problem is getting in touch with startups to invest in. Investing through AngelList, but I unfortunately do not (yet?) meet the requirements to become an accredited investor.

Is $100-150K yearly enough to get started? Do I have the "buy in" necessary to join a fund?

Any real life advice on how to get started would be greatly appreciated. I'm based in western Europe btw.
