"need for rules governing transparency and control."

And when they're implemented, the politicians the existing large players hired via campaign contributions are very careful to make sure the regulations favor the existing large players who pay the politicians bills, in other words the exact opposite of startups. So that's probably not going to end well for the startup.

It isn't the startups that need the rules. It's the People, who have been scammed one too many times.
