SSE Meets with SEC Commissioner

In a roundtable discussion created by CONNECT, SSE executive director, Sue Prelozni, met with SEC Commissioner Dan Gallagher.  The dialog focused on SEC and Federal regulations, limiting the investment of private individual, angel and VC funders to support start-up companies.  Commissioner Gallagher suggested a review "Regulation A," as it may lend a broader scope in terms of investment.
Only 30 people were invited to attend the session, representing both sides of the table:  start-up, entrepreneurs and investors.  Both sides expressed their concern and frustration with current regulations. Gallagher was eager to hear their concerns and suggested the attendees keep an open dialog with him and his office going forward.
The event was hosted by the office of Stradling, Attorneys at Law.
