user23017: Is it possible to invest in a bitcoin startup/company without being an accredited investor?
Say for example I would like to invest in coinbase.com, is this possible?

user4241: Yes it is possible, though I highly doubt that you would be able to invest in a coinbase round without being an accredited investor with lots of experience in the bitcoin space. That's not because of legal requirements, it's just where they're at in their business. As a general rule though, anyone can invest in a startup if they're able to convince the existing controlling shareholders to allow it.
