I didn't read that "fine print." Agreed that this is a significant barrier for small transactions. I'm still curious to see how angel investors treat it. The ability to put $100k to work at LinkedIn or Tesla is a different kind of bet than the huge risk of a much earlier stage startup. Thanks, Russ.

For their min purchase of $25k, that's 10%. Sounds like a non-starter. I'm not sure such high risk investments can handle that kind of drag. Their bank charges $2500 for the transaction.

If this catches on, it will be interesting to see (1) if the SEC can resist the temptation to step in and regulate this market, and (2) what happens after the first time someone abuses this system and the legal framework gets tested in court. The folks at Sharespost seem to have covered the obvious regulatory issues... Nice to see some productive financial innovation. Thanks for this post, Greg! Very cool.
