Funding startups

Does anyone know of websites where you could make micro investments in new companies/websites/projects?

Looking at investing some of the money I got in my company in startups which I think have future potential.

I am not talking about large startups or large investments but just micro investments, sort of a Mini Dragons Den

primitive is on a distinguished road

Kickstarter comes to mind, but they tend to be more creative "startups" and ideas to be funded http://www.kickstarter.com/

Unless you have shitloads of money you can afford to lose, there is no point getting involved in the angel business. It's a sector for the super rich, or fund managers. Mere mortals like us get burnt. There is no mini dragons den. Collective investments ALWAYS end in tears.

If you want to help others without the £££ in mind then I can suggest http://www.kiva.org You'll get no return, but you'll get your money back.

we do this

We already do this, but you will need more than £20 as to make it worth it for someone. People who are looking for cash generally want enough injected so as to make a difference. If you can add skill also it can helps. Once you have these setup you will get loads of people and you will realise loads of people make silly valuations of their business.
