Regulation part of NVCA plan to restore liquidity

"The NVCA strongly supports regulation and protecting investors where necessary but does not support a 'one-size-fits-all' regulatory approach," Heesen says. After months of soliciting input from leaders in all aspects of technology dealmaking, the NVCA outlined remedies for addressing the capital markets crisis for U.S. venture-backed companies. The proposals ask venture capitalists, investment banks, accounting firms, law firms, stock exchanges and the federal government to consider a variety of steps, including new ways to link buyers and sellers of private company stock, using a wider variety of service providers including investment banks and accounting firms, and pushing for tax policies that could boost VC investment.
