For argument's sake, giving 15-25 hackers my business plan for their perusal is a risk in itself. There'd have to be some thought put into how much is revealed, and under what circumstances.
You could get around accredited investor rule by having the founder form a contract with each investor. "Whatever profit and earnings I make from startup A, you have xx% up until the year 20xx." In this way, there is no interference in the startup's balance sheet, although there should be some indication of a cash injection by the founder due to their relationship with the hackers.
