Morgan’s nomination, announced recently, underscores his leadership with the Investor Choice Advocates Network (ICAN), an organization dedicated to addressing perceived overreach by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) while advocating for equitable market access for all Americans.
This recognition highlights the growing intersection of venture philanthropy and regulatory reform. ICAN advocates on behalf of smaller investors or those targeted by the SEC which has overstepped its bounds in the past. Currently, ICAN is suing the SEC, targeting the definition of Accredited Investors and its discriminatory impact on the investing public.
Morgan is a frequent contributor to CI, sharing his regular Capital Ideas interview series.
