KoreConX Webinar: State of the Jobs Act 2021

Mar 12, 2021 Mark

Press Release (ePRNews.com) - Mar 12, 2021 - KoreConX is pleased to announce that The State of the JOBS Act 2021 webinar, featuring David Weild IV, the “father” of the JOBS Act, will be held on March 15, 2021.

The JOBS Act was signed into law just nine years ago, in April of 2012. Since then, thousands of companies have taken advantage of the Act’s exemptions to raise capital for their companies.  More than half a million investors have participated, providing funding to these companies—and it’s just getting started!

The JOBS Act’s fundamentals are simple:

  • Democratize capital so everyone can invest
  • Give ownership back to the owners
  • Create jobs

The proof of momentum is in the numbers and there now exists real tangible growth in the private markets.

The JOBS Act’s Impact by the Numbers for 2020

  • Total Funding Portal 51
  • Total Companies Funded 1,100
  • Total Companies Raising $1M USD 229
  • Number of States 48
  • Total Raised $239.4M
  • Total Number of Investors 358,000
  • Average Raise $308,978

On November 2, 2020, SEC Commissioner Jay Clayton announced an amendment to two regulations that have truly expanded investors’ access to the funding of startups, emerging growth companies, and affinity-based projects online. Companies can now use Reg CF to raise up to $5M USD, and RegA+ to raise up to $75M USD.

Our webinar brings together two individuals who began this journey more than a decade ago. You will hear them reflect on their experiences and, more importantly, what lies ahead for the next version of the JOBS Act and the following chapter on capital raising for entrepreneurs.
