Techcrunch on the troubling provisions of the draft Dodd financial reform bill that will hurt angel investing and consequently depress start-up activity. Those troubling provisions in the draft Dodd financial reform bill include raising the accredited investor threshold, requiring review of (and a waiting period for) Regulation D filings (even solely accredited investor offerings), and removing federal preemption of state blue sky regulations (again, even for solely accredited investor offerings). All the more troubling because angel investing, venture capital and entrepreneurship had zero to do with the recent financial crisis. A solution in search of a problem.
