The math on this is even more direct, as you can take the differential in salary and invest directly into early stage companies that interest you, trading technical advising for access to seed rounds. You often end up with more equity (on better terms) than you would have had as an early employee, with less risk.

I am interested in this. Where does one find these opportunities for early stage investment?

Hang around startup accelerators, and if you have some special expertise you can offer, and you have an interest in early-stage investment, people will seek you out.
