Changes to Definition of Accredited Investors

[Andy Mirza]

There's hope that the definition of accredited investors will change in the near future. The House overwhelmingly passed JOBS Act 3.0 on a bipartisan basis by 400+ votes. With this amount of support, the Senate will surely pass it as well and Trump will probably sign it into law. The definition of accredited investor will be updated to include "an individual determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to have qualifying education or experience." Hopefully, that will mean that more people will qualify as accredited investors and be able to invest in opportunities that were previously unavailable to them.

I've got my fingers crossed! Not only will this help my business but I think it's more fair for everybody......
