"Angel" financing and public policy: an overview

Article Abstract:

The need to provide additional financial resources to venture capital firms has prompted the US government to promote the role of individual investors in start-up businesses, particularly high technology companies. However, it was shown that public efforts have so far been futile in generating positive financial returns in specific industries and have done little in improving the country's social status. Such failures may be attributed to the presence of asymmetric information between business owners and venture capitalists, which in turn lead to massive communication problems.

Federal agencies in the US, including the Pentagon and the Small Business Administration, have forged a collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for the development of an industry-wide Internet network called ACE-Net. Designed primarily to provide an equity market for small business operators, ACE-Net features a nationwide database for small scale entrepreneurs.
