Key Points

  • 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
