Nice breakdown of where Reg CF stands. The investor selectivity angle is probably the most underappreciated shift happening right now. Ran a small angel round lastyear and saw this firsthand—the questions got way more specific about dilution and actual path to liquidity. It's less about "cool idea" and more about "show me the model." One thing I'd add though is that portal concentration might actually hurt smaller, experimental campaigns that could succeed with the right community backing but don't fit teh polished metrics yet.

You're so right! I hope people will spend more time exploring the smaller, more flexible portals that do get creative.
