Around 40. Although I’ve been making “angel” investments since my 20’s by putting money into startups I got involved with.

Around age 28 I invested around $5-10k and sweat equity into a small software startup. They didn’t need much capital, misc expenses like software and internet service or a computer or 2. I didn’t get a big payout, it was and still is a lifestyle business today. I started doing micro lending around age 35, whenever kiva launched. Started doing larger investments a few years later. I invest in a few OTC companies now.
