?In The Studio,? MicroVentures' Tim Sullivan Crowdfunds Retail Angel Investments In Startups

"In The Studio" ends April by welcoming Tim Sullivan, the CEO of MicroVentures, a San Francisco-based crowdfunding venture firm that connects retail angel investors with startups. While the venture industry itself continues to undergo a long series of shifts, contractions, and market corrections, the larger trend of crowdfounding -- ranging all the way from the Kickerstarters of the world to modern political campaigns -- has also come into play when thinking about limited partners and investors in early-stage companies. Once upon time, only certain people and institutions had access to invest into funds that could invest into startups, but now with secondary markets like, well, Second Market, and shifting rules in Washington D.C., the door seems to have opened for a new class of retail angel investors.
