Quotes Regarding Venture Investing

"Venture capital once 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."
Business Week, May 22, 2000

"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."
Matt Oristano, President of a Connecticut investment management firm, quoted in The Arizona Republic, January 9, 2000

"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. "
Steve Pelletier, Chairman and CEO of OffRoad Capital quoted in Sacramento Bee, September 2, 1999

"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."
The Journal of Commerce, April 23, 1999
