Disclosure, I’m an investor in Jamsocket, the company behind this… but I’d be remiss if I didn’t say that every time Paul and Taylor launch something they have been working on, I end up saying “woah.” In particular, using ForeverVM with Clause is so fun.

May I ask how you got the opportunity to invest in this company? If you are a VC, makes sense, just wondering how normies can get access to invest in companies they believe in. Thanks

If you're an accredited investor (make sure you meet the financial criteria) you can cold email seed/pre-seed stage companies. These companies typically raise on SAFEs and may have low minimum investments (say $5k or $10k).

YC lists all their companies here: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies.

Many companies are likely happy to take your small check if you are a nice person and can be even minimally helpful to them. Note that for YC companies you'll probably have to swallow the pill of a $20M valuation or so.

I do indeed work in VC. But as another reply mentions, any accredited investor can write small checks into startups, and most preseed/seed founders are happy to take angel checks.
