Impactful Policy Frameworks
JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act) 2.0 (Proposed Revisions)
While the original JOBS Act (2012) allowed for general solicitation and crowdfunding, proposed revisions or future iterations could further streamline capital formation for small businesses and startups, potentially adjusting accredited investor definitions or investment limits.
Further easing of investment restrictions could broaden Corp Capital's investor base or alter the landscape for private capital formation, potentially increasing competition.
SEC Amendments to the Accredited Investor Definition (2020)
The SEC adopted amendments to the 'accredited investor' definition in August 2020, allowing more individuals to qualify based on professional certifications, designations, or experience, in addition to income or net worth thresholds.
This expansion broadens the pool of potential investors for Corp Capital's syndicate, allowing more individuals with relevant industry experience (GTM angels) to participate in early-stage deals.
Proposed Climate-Related Disclosure Rules (SEC, 2022/2024)
The SEC has proposed rules that would require public companies to disclose certain climate-related financial information, though the final rules (expected in 2024) may have broader implications for private companies seeking public funding or subject to supply chain scrutiny.
While primarily for public companies, these rules could influence ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations in venture capital due diligence, potentially impacting how Corp Capital evaluates certain startups' long-term viability and appeal to investors.
