was the province of institutional investors; individuals could get in
only if their Rolodexes were crammed with Silicon Valley contacts and
they could ante up $250,000 to $2 million or more per deal." "As individuals, we
don't see the deal flow, nor do we have the staff to send out and do
due diligence. But we also know that doing pre-public investments
is potentially the road to the best return." "Just because you have
a few thousand dollars or even $1 million to buy into a fast-growing
private company doesn't mean you can find out about such investment
opportunities. Individual investors often are passed over, he
said, because word of hot deals is restricted to small circles of investing
'angels,' the well-connected bankers, executives and other insiders.
" "Financial advisors may soon have something new to offer their wealthier clients: the avility to invest in privately owned companies on the verge of going public... "...the private capital
markets have been effectively closed to most individual investors, even
to those with relatively high net worth."
