Subject: Regarding the Amending the “Accredited Investor” Definition

I have worked at venture capital and commercial real estate funds for the past several years and an analyst and associate, doing the diligence and legwork behind the investments. Unfortunately, I do not meet the current standard for accredited investor, but I believe someone in my position who has been part of a fund with experience in analyzing companies and real estate deals knows the risks of investing and knows how to make wise investments. I ask that you SEC consider including an analyst level employee in the definition of "knowledgeable employee" so we can take part in investing in companies and deals we see everyday.   


Thank you for your time,  
Scott Laughlin
