It's tougher to qualify as an accredited investor - which means it's tougher to raise angel capital - http://vator.tv/n/10c5 - your house no longer counts towards your $1mm hurdle. on July 23

That's sad news for everyone. Note that there's no mention of raising the amounts available under 504 (from $1MM, which was put in place well over a decade ago). Also, the existing 35 unaccredited federal rule still puts entrepreneurs at risk (of recision) in certain states.
