Poll Results: Yes, VC Firms Should Ban Partners from Trading on Secondary Exchanges
I'm disappointed by the results of our poll about whether venture capital firms should ban their partners from buying and selling private company shares on secondary exchanges such as Sharespost. The survey grew out of a great story by colleague Jonathan Marino that exposed the practice and the potential conflicts of interest it engenders. A total of 130 peHUB readers took the poll, with 80 (or 62%) answering "yes" and 50 (or 39%) answering no. As I said in an earlier post, when I created the poll, I thought about coming up with a different question because I figured it was a no-brainer that most people would answer yes.
