Another false claim!
The 2012 Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS) was aimed at making it easier for small businesses to raise capital and, in turn, spur economic growth through job creation. ?Title III of the Act deals specifically with crowdfunding. In October 2015, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finalized some key provisions relating to permitting non-accredited investors to participate in this type of investment.
Equity investments may be attractive to non-accredited investors for a couple of reasons. First, there’s the potential for a solid return if the startup you’re investing in eventually has a successful IPO. Once the company goes public, you can then sell your equity shares and recover your initial investment, along with any profits. If you happen to luck out and invest in a startup that ends up being the next Google, the payoff could be huge.
Aside from that, equity crowdfunding doesn’t require a substantial amount of money to get started. Depending on how large the funding round is that a startup is seeking, you may be able to invest as little as $1,000. That effectively levels the playing field between accredited and non-accredited investors.
