Pretty much no, there isn't. Makani is a subsidiary of Alphabet (Google). You could invest in Google but you end up investing in all of Googles companies, one might do great, one might be loosing money. You invest in the aggregate. You can't usually invest in start up unless you are part of a investing company that invests primarily in start ups (Venture Caps) because the startups need large amounts of money and the Venture Caps are going to lock you out until there is an IPO... Initial PUBLIC Offering. The IPO is were the venture caps reap huge profits, but they also end up investing in companies that go under. The only realistic way to get into a promising start up is to be there before the Venture Caps get interested, like family and friends sometimes do. The TV show Silicone Valley does a pretty funny and pretty realistic really job of showing you how the venture cap game is played. Erlich, is one guy who got in early on Pied Piper. The primary writer, Mike Judge, worked as a software engineer for a time, also wrote Office Space and King of the Hill and Bevis and Butthead. But he knows that world. I worked in that world too and I think Silicone Valley is pretty spot on: youtube.com
