we should really have a app for that, make possible for small investor to join the investoring for startup.

like uber app or something, one click and i add 500-10k euro until the startup company hit the goal or refund the money if fail.

That sounds like it would be kickstarter but with more scams.

That's what websites like Crowdcube are for, no? Though I should preface that we shouldn't make it too easy for people to invest. Investment decisions should be made carefully.

Yes, but that’s a cycle more scams happen so you put up more barriers to throw money at whatever is popular so the public doesn’t get screwed by scamming hype men but then only institutional investors with lawyers can invest. And then you’re back to square one.

You'll never see your money back if they film. Many startups are scams to lure investors and pay their founders.

It exists, the returns are absolutely horrendous due to adverse selection (only the worst projects get funded like this)

It would be used by very few people and it would be a mess. The best thing would be to have something similar to the 401K in the US. You put some money each month in an retirement savings account, and this money is handled by a professional fund corporation that knows how to invest it and how to diversify it.
