Ask HN: I'm investing $100k in cool people with boring skills. Any leads?

I'd say just stick that $100k in a diversified all-world ETF, because putting it into some random's entrepreneur wannabe is unlikely to pay off (you'll probably not get anything back). Unless you're really wealthy, but then, isn't it better to just donate it to causes you care about?
If investment is what you're after, this approach doesn't seem likely to offer a good risk/return tradeoff.
I do have some things I'd want to start myself, some in those categories, but I'm more lacking time and energy than money. And a bit stuck by life problems?

Investing as in giving a "grant" or as in they have to return part of the money later?
I have a friend starting a bike shop in the bay area who might be interested!
I'm your guy. Super boring, but definitely cool.
Sorry, I'm square, I can't help you.
Examples: mending, sharpening, fabrication, transportation, restoration, carpentry, whatever.
If you have any talented friends who want more autonomy in their work, please intro us! My email is [email protected]
I'd also love to hear HN's experience with small-business investing. Is this a good idea? Bad idea? What else should I consider?
