The JOBS Act, or Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, simplified securities laws to facilitate the

The JOBS Act made the process of obtaining funds theoretically easier, faster, and cheap, and it eventually led to the creation of crowdfunding. More investors were able to engage in equity capital contributions to private firms as the Act evolved. Previously, only affluent, accredited investors had access to what is now open to nearly all investors, accredited or not. History of Crowdfunding Crowdfunding Regulations The utilization of modest sums of cash from a large number of people to support a new business endeavor is known as crowdfunding. Crowdfunding uses crowdfunding platforms and social media to connect investors and entrepreneurs, with the potential to promote entrepreneurship by broadening the pool of investors beyond the usual circle of owners, families, and venture capitalists. Crowdfunding Platforms Hundreds of thousands of people visit crowdfunding websites in the hopes of supporting or creating the next big thing. Some crowdfunding platforms have expanded their scope in recent years to provide a means for creative individuals such as artists, authors, musicians, and podcasters to support their creative work while also getting a consistent stream of money. These are some of the most famous Crowdfunding Platforms: Indiegogo: Founded in 2007, is the most flexible and less strict crowdfunding platform. GoFoundMe: Founded in 2010, is the biggest crowdfunding platform. Kickstarter: Founded in 2009, this platform can only be used by businesses or projects that can be shared with others. Regulation A+

5. The JOBS Act's Title IV, often known as Regulation A+, or Reg A+, is part of the act's development. After a long wait and much anticipation, it was released in May 2015. Reg A+ is a tax exemption that permits small businesses to sell their stock to the general public, allowing practically anybody to participate in a company via crowdfunding. It allows entrepreneurs and crowdfunding platforms to raise funds from accredited and non-accredited investors, allowing the general public to participate in privately-held businesses. It also allows firms seeking equity capital to make their offerings public. It has aided in the development of a cost-effective method for firms to obtain cash while simultaneously offering investor protection. Tiers I and II are the two parts of Regulation A+. Tier I allows qualified firms based in the United States and Canada to issue and sell up to $20 million in stock. The previous ceiling was set at $5 million. The firm must pass a coordinated state review, and its financials must be kept up to date. There are no restrictions on the amount of money that may be invested in the firm. Tier II allows qualified firms in the United States and Canada to issue and sell up to $75 million in stock. The amount of money that non-accredited investors can invest is limited. They can invest a maximum of 10% of their yearly income or net worth per year, whichever is higher. Tier II offers must also keep their financials audited and meet yearly reporting standards.
