Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act
of 2012
Important Elements
- The Act requires the SEC to write rules and issue studies on capital formation, disclosure and registration requirements.
- Cost-effective access to capital for companies of all sizes plays a critical role in our national economy, and companies seeking access to capital should not be hindered by unnecessary or overly burdensome regulations.
- We look forward to hearing the public's views as we write rules that both facilitate capital formation and promote investor protection.
Suggestions
Steve Case said, “Investing in startups has been relegated to the wealthy for the longest time, but with crowdfunding, the process will give more entrepreneurs access to capital and more citizens the opportunity to strike gold.”
