Yeah, I'm aware of the amounts. However, they do vary. I recall reading of 100k being considered a 'substantial investment' for software. The main problem is that the investment most likely should not be made in the startup since the investor also needs to own an equity stake according to the "inverted rule". For amounts in the 100k range, this is > 75%.
