It is far too expensive and time consuming to make a public offering under SEC rules."

That's the same reason Broadway shows aren't capitalized through a public offering (and why they can't solicit strangers.) Many start ups are financed in a similar fashion - tech startups that aren't flashy enough to attract the big VC firms often turn to angel investors. Someone opening a restaurant often turns to family and friends.
