The Securities and Exchange Commission hasupdated the dollar bill thresholdfor a vehicle to be considered a “ characterize venture stock ” to $ 12 million , up from $ 10 million .
Qualified venture funds are a subset of venture funds that can enhance from up to 250 accredited investor while also being exempt from having to file with the SEC as an investment companionship and take on the financial burden of such ( they must still stick to the major regulations of being a VC investment firm ) . The only other agency a individual stock can remain exempt from cross-file with the SEC as an investment company is if it has no more than 100 investors .
Emerging funds — those most likely to get small checks from investor and therefore need more investors — have beenhardest hitby the VC bear market that lead off in 2022 . While the new SEC rule is a everyday ostentation adjustment that the SEC revisits every five years , it comes at a time when smaller VCs could really use such help .
