You are not misinterpreting Reg D, but you haven't looked at the exceptions. There are numerous exemptions to Reg D, including the Intrastate Exemption and the Private Placement Exemption (usually, both of those are at play when dealing with angel VCs. These exemptions do not require accredited investors; otherwise, nobody could ever offer equity to anybody without registering with the SEC.
It's complicated, but the exemptions generally apply to the majority of equity offerings. It is usually only a problem when you are attempting to publicly offer equity. This was the primary obstacle to crowdfunding until the Crowdfunding Act was passed earlier this year.

The whole point of showing colored circles with numbers in them like this is to convey a sense of relative scale.
But none of these appear to be to scale. So they're completely misleading.
May Tufte have mercy on your soul.

This is a nice infographic, but it doesn't explain why they prefer Angel Funding. It's just throwing statistics out there without explaining them.
That is a needless and horrible infographic.
I agree, and it neglects the fact that Angels fund seed rounds, whereas VCs are more suitable for the big bucks.
