He noted that the current bank lending to small business resembled “Modern Loan Sharking” due to current new regulations forced on commerical lenders, and Jarkesy commented on the dearth of IPO’s and the difficulty of small companies going public for less than $50 million. Jarkesy stated that, “ I firmly believe that this current model creates employees out of visionaries and stifles the creative energy and entrepreneurial drive that’s needed to build great companies! The long term effect is not that entrepreneurs won’t exist any longer; it’s that they won’t be in the United States!.”
