Now I can see why another startup company headquartered and operating purely in the US didn't list in the US. I sold my shares in it because I have other companies in my sights so am not spamming, just providing below what they say on their site about US exchanges. Btw, the Venture index has crashed badly (every year, lol) since this company put this message up, so any investor who took a broad based investment approach to get exposure in many Venture listed companies has been using a guaranteed formula for poverty.

"Why We Chose TSX Venture Exchange
Natcore Technology, Inc., is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV). Known until 2001 as the Canadian Venture Exchange, TSXV is owned by the TMX Group, which also owns the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).

While TSX deals mostly with companies boasting larger capitalizations, the TSX Venture Exchange is a public venture capital marketplace for emerging companies—particularly in the mining, energy and high-tech industries—that have not yet met the assets and market cap requirements for listing on the TSX.

In the U.S., small startups have a steep uphill climb. They’re often relegated to the Pink Sheets, where there may be little trading, little visibility, and even less regulation. And the American Stock Exchange requires a $50 million market cap for a company to be listed.

So Natcore chose the TSX Venture Exchange as our platform to raise growth capital. Here’s why:

Canada is startup-friendly. TSXV allows new companies to be listed. This leads to much more liquidity and visibility than the U.S. over-the-counter market.
TSXV is very well regulated, resulting in an orderly marketplace and less risk and more stability for investors.
Canadian markets have a good reputation worldwide, an important consideration for young companies that have not yet earned investor trust.
The TSX Venture Exchange has 2,258 listed companies as of December 31, 2012. NASDAQ, by comparison, has about 3,400 listed issuers. For more information on the TSX Venture Exchange, you may visit their site here.
