Maybe an "initial" investor, or an early-stage investor. "Small-time" seems derogatory.

It's intentional. I need to keep my ego in check, and remember that I'm only supporting cast. The entrepreneurs are the protagonists.
I just don't know if I could muster the cojones to refer to you as a small-time investor in your presence (I'd have the decency to check that you're not around first).
How about micro-vester?
How about "Investor of reasonable sums"?
