How would you invest $50,000?
ankeshk: Invest in a small tech firm from a country where labour is cheap.  India.  Ukraine.  Philippines.$50,000 = annual salary of 3-4 employee team.Get them to make iphone apps, android apps, facebook games.If you go with a 4 people team, the division should be: 3 developers and 1 marketer.  And one of them handles everything for a bit higher salary and a very small equity stake.If you had $100,000-$200,000 to invest, I would get the team to flip websites.  You buy the websites (with the remaining $50,000 to $150,000).  They make it better with new features / redesign etc and then increase traffic to it for 4-6 months.  You then re-sell the websites.In this instance, I would go with: 2 developers and 2 marketers.
