Law

Allows small startup-focused funds to take up to 500 investors instead of 250, so they can raise money from more backers
Raises how big these funds can be from $10 million to $50 million, which could mean more early cash for new businesses
Most everyday people still can’t invest in these funds; they’re mainly for wealthy investors and big institutions, but local jobs and startups may benefit
After 5 years, the Securities and Exchange Commission will study if money reached more places and more kinds of founders, including veterans, and ask the public for input
Based on results, the Securities and Exchange Commission may adjust these limits to 250–750 investors and $10–$100 million
