Loosen the Rules Stifling IPOs by Venture-Backed Startups
- antr 15y agoI disagree. Rules are tough because equity in these companies is being made accesible to the average Joe. The only way to secure retail investors from risky companies (high growth tech companies) is by creating high barriers of entry/requirements. The public equity markets is not for all businesses, and the tech sector has a healthy pool of liquidity available to them e.g. late stage funds, large institutional funds, bank financing, etc. The way I see it is that VCs are the ones who want less stiff rules to pump and dump their more dubious investments.
