Managing Your Money: I would like to recommend a cool platform for passive management of money - Covestor (http://cv.im/). For busy professionals, you can invest directly alongside professional and retail investors, managing your own money in your own account. It is a new category of Investment product that gives you access to expert managers like a hedge fund with the security and transparency of a managed account. Covestor never hold any of your money. CVIM merely links their trading data to a brokerage account you set up either with TD Ameritrade or Interactive Brokers. You select which accounts you want to follow, and CVIM automatically instructs the linked brokerage account to mimic the trades in proportional amounts.
Disclosure: I am featured as a model manager on Covestor. 99% of firms listed on NASDAQ are backed by 900 VC firms. 42% are backed by only 5 top VCs. I work closely with these top VCs to invest in the top venture-backed equities with predictable earnings and long-term growth. If you like my strategy, follow me here: http://cv.im/models/profile/
