Impactful Policy Frameworks
JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act) 2.0 (Proposed Revisions)
While the original JOBS Act was passed in 2012, ongoing discussions and proposed revisions (often referred to as JOBS Act 2.0) aim to further ease capital formation for small businesses and startups, particularly around crowdfunding and private placements.
Further liberalization of crowdfunding rules could increase competition for traditional VC funding by expanding the pool of potential investors for early-stage companies.
SEC's Proposed Amendments to the 'Accredited Investor' Definition (Ongoing)
The SEC has periodically proposed amendments to the 'accredited investor' definition, which dictates who can invest in private securities, aiming to broaden access beyond traditional wealth-based criteria to include knowledge and experience.
Expanding the accredited investor definition could increase the pool of limited partners for venture capital funds and potentially alter the landscape of early-stage investment.
State-Level Crowdfunding Regulations (Various States, Ongoing)
Beyond federal regulations, several U.S. states have enacted or are proposing their own intrastate crowdfunding rules, often in conjunction with federal exemptions, to support local small businesses.
These state-specific regulations can create new, localized funding opportunities for startups, potentially diverting some early-stage deals from traditional VC channels in those regions.
