Understanding the Investment Landscape

Back in the ‘90s during the original .com boom companies went public a lot quicker than they do today. Companies like Amazon, for example, did a real early stage seed investment, took a little bit of venture money, and then went public. What that means is that a lot of the growth of the company took place while the company was a public company that anyone could invest in. Fast forward to today where venture capital has a lot more funding in it and there’s an abundance of private money and companies are staying private a lot longer. For example, SpaceX was founded almost 20 years ago. They have huge capital requirements because they are making all of these fixed infrastructure investments and yet they're still a private company. SO that’s changing a little bit today with the advent of what’s called Reg CF crowdfunding, which allows companies to go out and raise small discreet rounds of financing using what’s effectively a quasi public mechanism so anybody can invest. You know, hopefully we’ll see a return to the 1990s where, you know, your average Joe and Jane can get the same types of investment opportunities that venture capitalists in Silicon Valley get.
