Is there any micro investing version of “shark tank” type platform? I’ve got some extra cash that I’d like to do something with outside of the stock market and real estate. Anywhere to find promising investment pitches that I can throw like $10-50k at?

Seedinvest.com or republic.co for equity crowdfunding OR you can become an acredited angel and part of a local angel network / angel.co who will help manage the investment OR simply seek out startups in the local coworking space/university incubator etc. But in early stage most startups look for smart money so its important that you know if they expect you to add value beyond the investment itself and be 100% aware that you can actually add value should they need it.

I'm launching smarterangel.com soon to help guide the investment decision making process in startups which will help you sort through the clutter once you start getting a lot of pitches from startups.

Sounds like a business opportunity itself.

I don't recall the name but a friend was telling me there's a way for individuals to invest in series funding

StartEngine.com

Talking with local incubators can be an additional source of pitches. Some of them have investors day or can show your their portfolio based on your profile.

There are a bunch of these, try google! It’s like crowd funding for startups
