Why would a startup want this?

How is it better for a startup than ordinary currency?

How is it better for a startup than experienced investors?

How is it better for a startup than common investment vehicles?

What is the obvious business case for the additional complexity and potential legal land mines?

The goal is to make anyone able to invest in a listed Startup.

But why? Unlike with a public company, startups have needs from their investors beyond just cash. VC firms aren't just wallets, they provide services, access, networking, support etc.

This would skyrockets the small investments on early stage projects -> more projects would grow -> they go to VCs when ready

Why would a startup want just anyone as an investor?

You have a two sided market. It needs to attract both investors and startups to be a legitimate vehicle.
