ERISA effect
nvca as trade group
wiki VC:
In 1973, with the number of new venture capital firms increasing, leading venture capitalists formed the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA). The NVCA was to serve as the industry trade group for the venture capital industry.[10] Venture capital firms suffered a temporary downturn in 1974, when the stock market crashed and investors were naturally wary of this new kind of investment fund.
It was not until 1978 that venture capital experienced its first major fundraising year, as the industry raised approximately $750 million. With the passage of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) in 1974, corporate pension funds were prohibited from holding certain risky investments including many investments in privately heldcompanies. In 1978, the US Labor Department relaxed certain of the ERISA restrictions, under the "prudent man rule,"[11] thus allowing corporate pension funds to invest in the asset class and providing a major source of capital available to venture capitalistsdemise of music industry standards---banners---ad rev models---massive publicity channel---under the atlantic
