This is a great thought-provoking post -- acquirers do generally destroy the value of what they have acquired, the IPO market offers no realistic alternative for 99.9% of entrepreneurs, and and the alternative markets (London, for instance) haven't created a viable third path.

There's a good cross-post in a financial blog here: http://www.mrswing.com/artman/publish/best-financial-blogs/On_A_New_Path_to_Liquidity.shtml

I think there's a substantial unmet need here both for 'angel' type investors, VCs, entrepreneurs, and the bankers who would run the exchange.
