Ask HN: What's a trend you've noticed that others in your field seem unaware of?
I'll start it off: crowdfunding (eg startengine.com) so anyone can invest in startups instead of traditional VC to an exclusive group of investors "in the club".
Don't you need to be an accredited investor? I listened to several of these platforms over the years, the biggest hurdle seemed to be "compliance".
That was my first thought too. I'd love to get into private equity (as a client), but the requirements are insane. I don't think it's just accreditation but also an even higher net worth of $5M or something like that.
Interesting, I just saw an ad for this last night.
