my comment from AVC: One of the things I really hate is how VCs are lumped with PE and HFs when it comes to financial legislation. I feel like with VCs role in helping create entirely new industries and the level of risk involved in the kinds of ventures they fund VCs should be held at a separate standard that offers more leniency/hands off. I think that one of the best things right now is how you are seeing an increase in angel investing, often by ordinary engineers who are choosing to invest in co-workers that are leaving to start new ventures... and now with this qualified investor rule, the Senate is potentially legislating to reduce that kind of activity.
